The dog teams take off February 9th in Fairbanks, Alaska with the finish in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The Yukon Quest is celebrating its 25th year and spans 1,000 miles of the toughest terrain ever covered by dogsled. As teams race through the wilderness of Alaska and the Yukon, they face the raw uncertainty of nature: windswept mountains, frigid temperatures and long dark nights. The team with the best combination of excellent dog care, calculated strategy and luck wins.
