The Yukon Quest is known for excellence in canine care and fostering the traditions of northern travel by dog team. This epic winter sports event occurs every February at the “top of the world” and covers 1,000 miles between Fairbanks, Alaska and Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory.

The Yukon Quest Trail follows historic Gold Rush and mail delivery dogsledding routes from the turn of the 20th century. Yukon Quest dog teams compete over two weeks with mushers guiding their 14 canine athletes across frozen rivers and lakes and over mountain summits in the heart of the Arctic winter through some of the most pristine wilderness remaining in North America.
