2021 has been a strange year for the sled dog race season, and one of the biggest changes was the cancellation of "the other thousand mile race", the Yukon Quest. It came really as no surprise to many race fans for the simple fact that the Quest has a border crossing, and with Canada's continued closure of the border for non-essential travel to and from the States, there would be no way for the Yukon Quest to run in the year of Covid.
Quickly talk started on continuing the tradition of the Yukon Quest 300, the mid-distance race run by the organization that is used by many as a qualifier for both the Quest and the Iditarod. The powers that be decided to go ahead with the YQ300 but rebranded it and renamed it. Now the Summit Quest 300, it signifies the Alaska version of the 300 race.
You can follow the race via the lovely trackers run by trackleaders.com, and on the race's facebook page. No preview for this blogger... I've run out of time (obviously).
Without further adieu, the musher roster in Bib order.
