Top 5 Yukon Quest....

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Okay, I don't know much about many of these people running the Quest, but here's my best guess for the Top 5:

1. Lance Mackey
2. Ken Anderson
3. Michelle Phillips
4. Hugh Neff
5. Frank Turner
