Sled-Dog Racing

Yukon Quest International Sled-Dog Race. Whitehorse and Fairbanks organize the Yukon Quest International Sled-Dog Race in February. The race's starting line alternates yearly between the two cities. This is one of the longest and toughest races in the north-a thousand miles, and considered by mushers to be much harder than the Iditarod, as the terrain is rougher and the checkpoints fewer. Whitehorse, YT. 867/668-4711. www.yukonquest.com.
