Dog History - Fearless. Faithful. Diligent. Tireless. These are
just some of the words used by polar explorers to describe the dogs that
helped them on their treks across the frozen continents. |
| The
Yukon Quest - The 1,000 mile (1600km) Yukon Quest is a unique cross
border sled dog race, running between Whitehorse, Yukon and Fairbanks,
Alaska. There is no other race like the Yukon Quest. It is not a staged
race but a true distance race. Mushers cannot replace sleds during the
race and cannot have stoves and equipment flown into any of the checkpoints.
With distances between checkpoints sometimes over 200 miles, they must
carry many of their supplies with them. Mushers in the Quest must truly
challenge the northern wilderness on their own to brave "the toughest race
on earth". |

Percy DeWolfe Race - Yukon -
Race start is in Dawson City, in front of the Old Post Office in memory
of Percy DeWolfe, a mail carrier whose route was from Dawson City to Eagle,
Alaska. The race follows most of Percy's original trail. The first musher
to leave carries a package of special envelopes to deliver to Eagle. |
| Race
to the Sky - Now a 350 mile race, traverses the scenic Rocky Mountains
of Montana. The trail borders three nationally-designated wilderness areas
and climbs to almost 7,000 feet. It offers something for everyone:
hills, forests, mountains, stars, the moon, and the serenity that just
happens when you are viewing this trail riding on the 2 foot wide trail. |
