OK, that's really cool. The Iditarod has equipped racers with GPS devices this year, and you can track their progress live. There are lots of nifty options on how to view, such as aerial vs road view, and mushers or checkpoints. (Sounds like the mushers are having fun with them; apparently at a rest point, one guy took the tracking device off his sled, handed it to a pilot, and asked him to fly around for awhile.)

When we were in Alaska last year, we went to a talk by Libby Riddles about the Iditarod and sled dogs. It was good.
