The "halfway point" checkpoint for the iditarod race is Ophir to Iditarod
Even numbered years
In even years, the Iditarod follows the Northern route. The halfway point is between Cripple and Ruby, closer to Ruby.
The Iditarod from 2018 has run for 45 years
Aliy Zirkle is a musher who races in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. She races SP Kennel's Red Team and has finished the Iditarod 14 times (2014) finishing in 2nd place three years in a row (2012, 2013, 2014).
There are 26 checkpoints on each route in the Iditarod. The southern route is taken on odd numbered years(such as this year,2013) and the northern route is taken on even numbered years. I'm not able to give the exact information of where each checkpoint is on both northern and southern routes, but somewhere else on wikianswers(this website).
