The Yukon Quest is more than just a sled dog race. It was the dream
of two Fairbanksans--a recreational musher and an amateur
historian--who conceived of a race closer to the roots of Alaskan
dog sledding. The Yukon Quest is a 1,000-mile slog through trails
used only for this race that cross mountains, rivers, and lakes in
some of the harshest weather on the planet. It celebrates the
history of the dogs that carried freight and delivered mail, dogs
that many times over saved lives before the advent of aviation and
snowmachines made them obsolete. The inaugural Yukon Quest Sled Dog
Race of 1984 was a great success with the wholehearted support of
the Fairbanks community, and it has become a much-anticipated
annual event ever since.
