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.
