The Yukon Quest is known for
excellence in canine care and fostering the traditions of
northern travel by dog team. This epic winter sports event
occurs every February at the “top of the world”
and covers 1,000 miles between Fairbanks, Alaska and Whitehorse
in Canada’s Yukon Territory.
The
Yukon Quest Trail follows historic Gold Rush and mail delivery
dogsledding routes from the turn of the 20th century. Yukon
Quest dog teams compete over two weeks with mushers guiding
their 14 canine athletes across frozen rivers and lakes
and over mountain summits in the heart of the Arctic winter
through some of the most pristine wilderness remaining in
North America.
