Yukon Quest 2017 – Day 3
p align=”center”>
Hugh is continuing his race to Dawson and collection of firsts into checkpoints. The temperatures are staying cold which is better for the puppies, if not so great for the mushers.
Yuka Honda has been hit with a two-hour penalty for repairs to her sled that required outside assistance.

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.
