Can't say enough how proud I am to be a supporter of the Yukon Quest and
continuing to spread the word when people ask about my jacket/fleece and the
significance of the race and their amazing achievement.

Today Yukon Quest Race Marshal Doug Grilliot announced that the race will be re-routed between Dawson City and Eagle, AK. The mushers will not be travelling over American Summit.
The decision was made based on reports from trailbreakers that the trail over American Summit is impassable in several locations. The trail will instead proceed directly down the Yukon River from Dawson to Eagle.
The estimated reduction of distance is 50 miles.
The Yukon Quest organization will release any further details as they become available.
