Yukon Quest Day 5 2/10/10

We Have A Race!

The race leaders left the Eagle checkpoint within 7 minutes of each other - Zach, Hans, Lance and Hugh. Up and over American Summit, they are crossing into the Yukon, with Lance and Hugh leading the way. Soon, they'll return to the Yukon River and head towards the mandatory 36 hour layover in Dawson City.

There have been no scratches, and everyone has at least made it to Slaven's Roadhouse.
Rookie Abbie West has just over an hour lead over Josh Cadzow in the Rookie of the Year race.
Rookie Terry Williams is still bringing up the rear, arriving at Slaven's a couple of hours after the leaders left Eagle.
