On The Trail Again

5 Time Iditarod Champion Rick Swenson steps off the 2009 Iditarod Musher Drawing Stage after selecting lucky number 8!

The 2009 Field is Set!

The IDITAROD XXXVII field is deep with talent and after last night's Drawing Banquet it is now set.  Click here to see the 2009 Musher starting positions for tomorrow's start beginning at 10 am Alaska Time.  Many of the mushers who came off the stage talked about their teams… their drawing positions… and their concern about the near record snow depth that exists between McGrath and Nome.Click here to see and hear the sights and sounds.

Catch All the Sights and Sounds…

And much more by becoming an Ultimate Insider. You'll be right there on 4th Avenue at tomorrow morning's start, you can watch the race begin to unfold at the Restart in Willow Alaska on Sunday, and in between the live finish in Nome, you'll bet hundreds of video clips form the field as teams make their way to Front Street under the Burled Arch.

And With The GPS Tracker

You'll be able to follow each team in real time with tracking data that includes, time traveled, speed, distance traveled and a lot more! It's the Ultimate way to watch "The Last Great Race on Earth."
