Upadte: 02/11/07 - Musher Jeremie Matrishon of Whitehorse, leads the pack of 17 mushers in the Quest 300. The trail follows much of the same trail as the Yukon Quest mushers are running with an additional 25 off the shared trail. Roland Waldispuehl is the nearest compeiter about 45 minutes behind Jeremie. Yukon Quest International created a race in 2000 to provide another qualifying race opportunity for mushers who wanted to enter the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. This race, now called the Yukon Quest 300, in recognition of the trail distance, gives mushers an opportunity to sample part of the Yukon Quest Trail under real time and race conditions. It is also becoming popular as a training race for experienced mushers while retaining it's original intent of providing a quality learning environment for beginning long-distance mushers.Comments (0)
