Things To Do in Fairbanks, AK

Yukon Quest Dog Sled Race Yukon Quest Dog Sled Race

Of all the traditions that are still honored in Alaska, the Yukon Quest Dog Sled Race is one that is as challenging as it is enduring. This is a 1,000 mile international trek that takes place “at the top of the world” in the Yukon and Alaska wilderness of northwestern North America. Held every February, the race runs its course starting from either Whitehorse, Yukon, or Fairbanks, Alaska. To say that undertaking this race is a test of skill and fortitude is an understatement. Despite the bitterly cold conditions, participants and spectators alike respectfully acknowledge Alaska's time-tested tradition of traveling by dog sled.
