If you’re visiting Alaska during Iditarod 2025, you can watch the start of the race in Willow, where the official restart takes place each March. Crowds gather early to cheer on the mushers as they head out on the historic Iditarod Trail, making it a great event to experience in person. For more immersive access, some of our iditarod tours follow the trail by snowmobile to checkpoints like Yentna or Skwentna, giving you a chance to see the action unfold from the trail itself.
