As predicted, it looks like Brent fired up his dog-motor as Allen approached on the river and pulled out just in front. According to the tracker (with updates at the same minute) the duo appear to be mere feet — maybe inches! — apart. Looking back at my data, I … Read More
Let’s start with my premise that after 36 hours of resting and refueling, leaving Dawson was basically a “re-start” for the rest of the race. With that in mind, consider that Allen left Dawson 2.5 hours after Brent but arrived in Carmacks 1.5 hours before Brent. That’s an overall “gain” … Read More
Here is the video of the team stuttering a little out of Carmacks. If you can see the tracker you will see they are going along quite happily now so don’t be alarmed! Sorry folks, I didn’t quite catch the whole conversation detailed in the previous post but I did … Read More
We just saw the team off from Carmacks after just under four hours of rest. The dogs and Allen all really made the most of the sleep and refuel stop. Allen made some time for a quick interview with the Quest press team before he fed the team their meal, … Read More
The team arrives in Carmacks. They’re over 800 miles into this race and look at those wagging tails!

We just watched Allen and the team pull in to Carmacks Checkpoint with lots of wagging tails and happy husky smiles. It’s been a long run from Pelly Crossing and Allen is stopping here for a while. At this point we are unsure how long he will stay – he’s … Read More
Just in case you’re wondering… I’m similarly equipped, fully medicated and highly caffeinated! Happy the Sled Dog is asleep, of course, but opens an eye from time to time when she hears her former kennel mates in the videos. This race is as exciting as any I’ve ever followed, and … Read More
We’re waiting… waiting… waiting… Moira in front of the computer watching the tracker, Davis sleeps on the couch, Meghan hits the coffee, Aliy eats “tums” and Ray checks his watch.
A catch-up video of the team arriving and leaving Pelly Crossing checkpoint over night. Turn the sound down, Mac gets kinda loud! Hooray for great wifi!
