Actually there is 1 checkpoint the mushers stay at for 8 hours. The checkpoint required is White Mountain. Then they have to take a 24 hour stop and one more 8 hour stop at any checkpoint.
yes. example: every musher in the iditarod race can spend 24 hours only once at a checkpoint. so it would be a good idea when they are tired to stop at a checkpoint for 24 hours since they only get to do it once. they all have limited time at checkpoint. if u r confused, go 2 the iditarod website.
A checkpoint is a place you MUST stop at. There is a vet at each checkpoint to examine the dogs. Also, there is a 24 hour stop that you may not leave until 24 hours later.
They sleep at the checkpoint stops. If they want they can make an igloo or something that they might rather sleep in then the checkpoint where a lot of other teams are.
