Milestone Victory
Josi Shelley and 10 sled dogs cruised across the finish line at Pike’s Landing in Fairbanks at 8:12 Monday night to claim the crown in the first ever Yukon Quest Alaska 750. The new Quest champion’s performance was so dominant that she was able to take extra rest at the last checkpoint in Nenana, before covering the final 50 miles and completing the race with a total time of nine days, nine hours and 11 minutes.
Shelley For the Win
Josi Shelley is carrying a commanding lead toward the finish line of the Yukon Quest Alaska 750. Despite the comfortable victory margin, Shelley said at the Rampart checkpoint over the weekend that she would not be coasting in but instead using the last part of the race to hone her team for the rest of the racing season. Communities across the Yukon Quest trail have enthusiastically welcomed mushers. And here in Rampart, hardly anybody was more hyped than the kids.
Rough Going
Race volunteers watched with excitement Sunday, as Yukon Quest Alaska 750 frontrunner Josi Shelley took off from the Rampart checkpoint in fresh snow, well ahead of the rest of the field. But later in the day, the cheers turned to gasps when a race judge, who’d gone out to check on second place musher Jonah Bacon, got his snowmachine stuck in overflow. All Rampart volunteers, officials, and vets, as well as Bacon and his 12-dog team are safe, but things were dicey for a while Saturday.

The race’s two frontrunners parked their teams at the Yukon River Bridge checkpoint, where they're catching up on sleep and consuming calories during a mandatory 24-hour layover.
