Why does the Iditarod Sled Dog Race alternate between a northern route and a southern route every other year?
During the early years of the Iditarod Race, the mushers only traveled the northern trail. After several years, the Iditarod Board of Directors realized that the smaller villages were being heavily impacted by the race coming through their village year after year. It was decided to use both sections of the trail. This decision had a three fold effect. The northern villages of Ruby, Galena and Nulato only had to deal with the large group of mushers, press and volunteers every other year. The second effect was that the race was able to pass through the actual ghost town of Iditarod. Lastly, the villages of Shageluk, Anvik and Grayling were able to participate in the race. iditarod.com/learn/iditarodtrail.html

Is the 2012 iditarod on the north or south track?
At this point in the race (official start day), the 2012 Iditarod is following the northern route, as it does every even-numbered year. Though some route changes have been made (for instance, removing then re-instituting the Happy River Steps), it is unlikely that the race officials would opt for the southern route. With near-record snowfall along the northern route (and more to come), the southern route would likely be an easier run. That said, the villages along the trail depend on the every-other-year boost to the local economy, and the infrastructure is already in place to run the northern route.
