Mushers: Conquering the Yukon Quest
“Witness The Most Extreme Race In The World”
The Yukon is synonymous with wilderness, the gold rush, and also the toughest sled dog race in the world: The Yukon Quest. The series follows 7 dog teams as they attemps the 1000 mile race from Whitehorse, Yukon to Fairbanks, Alaska. Enormous challenges face the competitors: Four mountain summits, glaciers, overflowing rivers and lakes, wild animal encounters, six hours of daylight and temperature falling below -50 degrees Celsius. This race is not for the faint of heart and has been completed by fewer men and women than have climbed Mount Everest. It attracts only the most experienced and adventurous competitors from around the world.
