The Yukon Quest Alaska wrapped up yesterday. Check out our 24 favorite photos from the sled dog competition:
Musher Nic Petit changes his wet socks after running into overflow on the Chena River during his first run of the Quest.
Several mushers expressed enthusiasm for the new distance, which they said was a perfect warm-up for Iditarod. Deke Naaktgeboren’s dog Pokey prepares for a run from Mile 101 of the Steese Highway. Naaktgeboren said that the loss of her eye didn’t affect her running, but she was skittish if approached from her right side. “Pokey got poked by a pokey porcupine protecting her puppies,” he said with a laugh. 550 musher Wade Marrs chops blocks of frozen meat at the Two Rivers checkpoint. Marrs said some trappers from his home in Wisconsin donated beaver meat to support his dogs.
Shaynee Traska’s team approaches the crest of Eagle Summit, where trail markers were caked with several inches of snow from the constant wind of the treeless mountain pass off the Steese Highway. Jumble ice on the Yukon River forced organizers to reroute the course, originally scheduled to travel from Fairbanks to Circle and then along the Yukon to Eagle before finishing in Tok. Instead, teams traveled from Fairbanks to Circle and then back to Nenana, before finishing in Fairbanks.
Riley Dyche uses an ax to scrape ice from his sled runners. Dyche said he ran into overflow on the Chena River during his first run that froze onto his runners. He later lost a few hours repairing his foot pad of his sled after going over Eagle Summit. 550-winner Brent Sass hands thawed beef steaks to his dogs at the finish of the Quest 550. Sass, in his fifth Quest win, took home a $40,000 prize.
