Having volunteered for numerous other races and events around western Canada I can honestly say the Yukon Quest is far and away the best for being organized and looking after their volunteers. I am preparing to head back to Scroggie Creek for a second year.

2012 Junior Yukon Quest Cancelled

The 2012 Junior Yukon Quest has been cancelled due to lack of participants. A minimum of five mushers must sign up by the deadline or the race will not be held. This year, no junior mushers signed up by the deadline of March 5, 2012.

The 130-mile race was scheduled to start on March 10, 2012 in downtown Fairbanks. The trail typically heads out to the Twin Bears Camp on Chena Hot Springs Road in the Chena River State Recreation Area The next day, teams return to Fairbanks by the same route.
