Frontrunners in the Yukon Quest are running toward the race’s halfway point at Dawson City, Yukon.
Defending Quest champion Brent Sass continues to lead the race. The Eureka musher was in an out of the Eagle checkpoint first this morning, after 4 hours of mandatory rest.
He only briefly shared the dog yard with chasers, Allen Moore and Hugh Neff, who arrived 2 hours after Sass.
Fellow veterans Matt Hall and Ed Hopkins are also in the mix near the front of the race.
