The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra 2019 will start on February 3rd


Race course
The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra will follow the Yukon Quest trail, the trail of the world’s toughest Sled Dog Race.

The marathon finishes at Muktuk Adventures just off the Takhini River. The 100 mile racers will go from Whitehorse to Braeburn. The 300 mile racers will keep on going all the way to Pelly Farm. There they will leave the river to turn around and go back to Pelly Crossing on the farm road. The 430 mile participants go all the way to Dawson City.

The trail will be marked. However, if there is fresh snow or a lot of wind it will be difficult to find the trail. If you want to enhance your ability to understand your orientation, we recommend you use a GPS. You will find necessary co-ordinates and more information on the race course in the “Trail Description” (see “Service” section).

Start time, date and location
The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra 2019 will start on February 3rd. The time for the start is 10:30 AM.

We will start at Shipyard’s Park in Whitehorse next to the Yukon river. A detailed description of the location is given at the race briefing. If there is not sufficient snow cover on the sidewalks we will provide transportation for the pulk sleds. Timing for this will be announced at the race briefing.

KEYS100 also promotes charitable fundraising for “The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys” in support of their educational work and outreach, free screenings and direct support of cancer patients and their families throughout the Keys.
