The 2024 Yukon Quest is a test of stamina and endurance that challenges mushers and dog
teams as they run across our historic trail. Teams compete for glory and honor, pushing through
the forces of nature and their own limitations to reach the end of their
epic journey.
The 2024 Yukon Quest will feature three races run simultaneously along our historic Yukon trail. The YQ100 will be a 100-mile race starting in Whitehorse and ending in Braeburn; The YQ250 will be a 250-mile race starting in Whitehorse and ending in Pelly Crossing; The YQ450 will be a 450-mile race starting in Whitehorse and ending in Dawson City. Our trail maneuvers through the heart of the Yukon and passes along the Yukon River, traversing not only the pristine wilderness of this territory but through the communities along the way. It is a trail enriched by the history behind it, and the legacy of the Yukon Quest grows each year as mushers challenge themselves and their teams in epic battles against unforgiving elements and the awesome forces of nature.The races start at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at Shipyards Park in Whitehorse,Yukon.
