Yukon Quest 2020 – Start
The race sneaked up on me by starting on the 1st. This year is the easy route with the Rosebud & Eagle climbs occurring while teams are still fresh. Only 15 teams running this year.
The Current Standings at 11:00PM CST ( 8:00PM AKST):
At Two Rivers
1 Jason Campeau (3)
Beyond Fairbanks
2 Richie Beattie (1)
3 Cody Strathe (2)
4 Allen Moore (4)
5 Denis Tremblay (5)
6 Nora Själin (6)R
7 Olivia Webster (7)R
8 Ryne Olson (8)
9 Torsten Kohnert (9)

12 Rob Cooke (12)
13 Pat Noddin (13)R
14 Chase Tingle (14)

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.
