Yukon Quest Update #8

The Race Is On!

The front-runners are hitting the trail as their mandatory 36 hour rest in Dawson City ends. Hugh Neff left at 3:35am (local time), with Hans Gatt following nearly 3 hours later.
Five mushers in the back are all on their way to Dawson. Michelle Phillips scratched, she was down to 8 dogs and is planning to run the Iditarod, so she decided it was in the best interest of the dogs.
