16 Skwentna to Deshka Landing, 67 miles
The Run Home.
Once they arrived somewhere, the team will have run the Iditarod. Still barely can believe this.

15 Finger Lake to Skwentna, 39 miles, 4-6 hours
I have a hunch that Will will barrel through Finger Lake because the team just rested and there is another mandatory 8hrs rest in Skwentna.

13 Rohn to Rainy Pass
Yes, this is the leg with the backwards Dalzell Gorge.
Luckily, it seems there's quite a bit of snow on the ground to help the teams along.

12 Nikolai to Rohn, 71 miles
This leg contains the last straight and flat run. It also contains the Burn, the worst part of the trail.
This is a long leg. Expect a fast team for the first half, but also expect a rest and tracker signal loss in the second half.

11 McGrath to Nikolai, 48 miles, 4.5-7 hrs
This is the last completely flat run until the final leg.
Expect speed.

09 Iditarod to Ophir
We are now at the "... or somewhere" part of the trail.
Yes, that's the Mountain at the Horizon, watching over every dog at the race.

09.1 Iditarod
Look at this. The white line coming from top right is the Iditarod trail. It stops at the yellow dot. Because that yellow dot is the Iditarod checkpoint. The halfway point.
You know what I love the most in this pic?
The little numbers below the dog. ๐

With the removal of Flat Checkpoint, I just spent 10 minutes trying to calculate the new location for the halfway howl.
BRB, gonna have a serious talk with my brain.
07 McGrath to Ophir, 41 miles, 2-3 hrs
This year, the race skips Takotna Checkpoint.

DALLAS SEAVEY LOST!
MUSHER TOOK A WRONG TURN ON THE RIVER!

Or did he?
Bonus map showing the 2019 Iditarod course. That year, _every_ musher took the course Dallas is running now.
Seems like an official reroute.

Will comes next about 6 miles behind Dennis (Go Will!). Victoria Hardwick is about 15 miles behind Will and Larry Daugherty and Hal Hanson are still in Rohn. Still a lot of teams bunched together at the front and middle of the field. #Willditarod #iditarod2021
05 Rohn to Nikolai, 71 miles, 10-15 hrs
Leaving the foothills of the Alaska Range behind, this is one of the longest legs of the race. Expect one large or several smaller breaks throughout.

02 Skwentna to Finger Lake, 39 miles, 4-6 hours
Wait, didn't we just publish a map?
Yes, Pinky, but some mushers rush through Yentna without stopping, @TeamPetit3 .
They apparently do not care that a mapmaker might need his sleep.
(Run times from Bowers' notes)

Will is trucking along in 32nd and recently shared the trail with his mentor, Martin Buser. Iโm sure that was a special moment for Will. #Iditarod2021 #Willditarod
01 Deshka Landing to Skwentna, 67 miles
Welcome!
Y'all ready for the first map?
Fine, let's go through some other important things, first.
Map is below, I promise.
