YUKON QUEST

The second largest sled dog race in the world takes place in early February between Whitehorse, Canada and Fairbanks, Alaska in even numbered years. In odd-numbered years, the race starts in Fairbanks. To cover the 1,600 km, competitors follow the postal route that was used by early gold seekers. It is the major winter event in Fairbanks. Indeed, competitors come from all over the world. However, to attend the preparations and the departure, it is necessary to make it in advance because the hotels are often full.
