Yukon Quest Testimonials
The beauty of Yukon/Alaska, the wonderful people you work with in supporting this fantastic adventure, the communities that you interact with, the mushers and their dogs, this is human beings at their best working in one of the last great wildernesses. To stand and watch the northern lights, to glimpse the wildlife, to experience the flora and fauna..this is living!!
Gordon Thompson, Englishman, presently living in the Italian Dolomites.

The Yukon Quest has been run every February since 1984 over 1,000 miles/ 1,600 km of wilderness trail conditions between Whitehorse, Yukon and Fairbanks, Alaska. This incredible international winter sports event starts the second Saturday of February regardless of weather conditions and lasts from 10 to 14 days, depending on weather, trail conditions and team speed.

A maximum of 50 mushers are permitted to enter the Yukon Quest.

Yukon Quest mushers must be at least 18 years old by the race start date and must have demonstrated their ability to successfully complete a 200-mile and a 300-mile sled dog race within the previous 30 months to be allowed to enter the Yukon Quest.
