2020 Yukon Quest Has Started!

Ryne and her amazing athletes were out of the chute and on the trail at 11:21 AKST today! What a happy team to be back on the trail. Beautiful day; cold start — about -18F, but warmer than it has been lately. Lots of excitement in the air. Please join along and follow the trackers:
