Yukon Quest organizers appoint John Schandelmeier as trail coordinator.

In response to critics who argued the Quest trail was poorly maintained, the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race appointed Quest veteran John Schandelmeier for a newly created trail coordinator position.

Schandelmeier has completed 16 Yukon Quest Races and won two; once in 1992 and again i 1996. John went on to found the Taiga 300 race and worked on improving the Gin Gin 200 ad Copper Basin 300 trails.

The Yukon Quest is an annual 1,000 mile sled dog race from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory to Fairbanks, Alaska. Much like the Iditarod, the Yukon Quest is a grueling test of endurance. Racers and their hearty four legged friends must survive the bitter cold of Alaska and the Yukon Territory as well as traverse some of the most magnificent scenery known to man.

Lance Mackey won the Quest (again) this year, which marks his fourth consecutive Quest win. Mackey also holds the honor of having the fastest running time of 10 days, 2 hours and 37 minutes.

Cool post Jesse. I like dog sled races. I did not know that there were so many. Most of what we hear about in the lower 48 is the Iditarod...
