Merci et bon courage!! a la course des chiens husky ! j'ai ete au Yukon l'hiver et je mettais mes moclocks, bottes tres chaude . Il faisait tellement froid -45 celsius !
I know in the iditarod, they can grab food and straw from the check points and then they may camp in the wood however they are required to take (I think) two 8 hour breaks at a check point and one 24 hour break at a check point.
Yes. It is very well monitored. However, start and finish held in a crime infested area, Yukon. Yukon’s 2021 crime rate was the third-highest in the country at 22,938 incidents per 100,000 population (at the time of crime data release, Statistics Canada’s estimate of Yukon’s July 1, 2021 population was 42,986). The sad reality of Yukon.
Animals dieing, mental and physical animal abuse... Oh ya the dogs love being mentally warped into dragging a lazy humans ass through a frozen tundra instead of going for a nice walk/run through a field on their own terms...
OH !! NO !!! THE YUKON QUEST ,WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST RACES !!~ A, Thousand Miles thru The Hardest Territory !! The IDIROD IS At TOUGH ONE TOO !! ~ I, KNOW BOTH RACES !!
Hate me or not for this comment. But I don’t agree with such dog races and I stand against it. Making dogs run for that long in extremely cold conditions just for the “thrill and fun” of it is not okay ! How you have no idea how painful it must be when the dogs suffer from leg cramps and muscle failure, that’s fucking horrible. I don’t give a fuck if it’s a “cultural” thing, it’s negligence.
You're entitled to your opinions. However, the sled dogs are not forced to run. They run because they love to run. As far as "leg cramps and muscle failure", have you witnessed sled dogs with such problems or is your statement based upon comparison between a human long distance runner and sled dogs, and the incorrect assumption a sled dog will have the same problems as a human?
I used to feel that way too but when I learned more about the race, the dogs, and the mushers, I changed my opinion because these dogs truly want to run. They are very well cared for and looked after. The mushers will sacrifice themselves to care for their dogs. Likely, they eat better on the trail than the mushers.
No, !! SORRY,, You, do not UNDERSTAND THE HUSKY & it's Will to Run !! ~ ALTHOUGH, I, DO AGREE WITH YOU, THE IN BREEDING,, THE TAKING AWAY FROM REAL HUSKY BREEDS .. But, trust a Yukon Girl, here that has A Team of Huskies back Home & raised 2 of Them, OUT off, C.K.C & AK.C. Siberian Champs, not only as Show Dogs, but Working Dogs, raised from 6 weeks old, IT IS IN THEIR D.N.A. TO RUN !!~~ They are Magnificent !! & BELIEVE ME, THEY HAVE HECK OF A LOT TO TEACH US !! ~ RUNNING IS WHAT THEY LOVE & LIVE FOR !!
The Quest and the Iditarod are both awesome
Dunno how I missed this vid before! Love the YQ. Hope it's run this year.
Great to see the Yukon Quest is still the Toughest Sled Dog Race on Earth. Happen to finish it in 1991 👍🏼
15:35 Arcade is so dark; there-there's Saint Barbs BBQ.
That’s was a beautiful and fantastic video.
We love to follow the Yukon Quest. Thank you for sharing.
Here's a viewing tip: If you already know all about the Yukon Quest sled dog race, go straight to Episode 2 to get right into the action!
What a great video! Cheers for sharing. Love those doggies!
Thank you Wolfmaan!

So do the competitors only really stop to rest, eat, sleep at checkpoints?
I know in the iditarod, they can grab food and straw from the check points and then they may camp in the wood however they are required to take (I think) two 8 hour breaks at a check point and one 24 hour break at a check point.

What are the drawbacks of this race?

Nobody is forcing you to be here get the fuck out
