Yukon Quest 2016 – Day 8
Tony Angelo is the last team on the trail to Dawson. Ten teams have already left Dawson and ten are still resting there. Carmacks and Whitehorse are already in the 20s this morning which is warm for sleddogs.
Allen has about a hour lead on Brent which is not significant at this point in the race.

These are the official standings. That means they are official, not that they are correct. Things jump around a lot as people decide to update the standings. This problem is especially bad in the back of the pack, as no one bothers to update those standings when the lead is changing.
The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Yukon Quest, the numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers, and the small “R” indicates a rookie.
Note: This post will be updated during the day, and the map changed on all posts to reflect the current situation.
All posts on the Yukon Quest can be seen by clicking on the sled dog or selecting “Yukon Quest” from the Category box on the right sidebar.
