This year, the Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race is going to be a minimum of 150-mile (241 km) dog sled race following the historic Yukon River mail route traveled by the legendary mail carrier Percy DeWolfe.

We are still hoping the race can make it to Eagle this year, but a few things remain to be confirmed, ie trail conditions, customs authorization and checkpoint/volunteers in Eagle.

Temperatures during the race can range from -40°C to +10°C. Depending on trail conditions, the leading teams typically complete the course in approximately 12 to 16 hours, excluding mandatory layover time.

A mandatory mushers' meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. the evening before the race. Attendance is required for all participants.

The race begins at 10:00 a.m., with mushers leaving the starting chute at staggered 2-minute intervals. The first time slot at 10:00 a.m. is reserved in memory of Percy DeWolfe, with the first competitor officially starting at 10:02 a.m. Staggered start times will be factored into the mandatory layover durations.

The Percy Skijor is a 100-mile (160 km) race from Dawson City to Fortymile and back, following the historic Yukon River route. This two-day event challenges teams with a stunning and rugged course through the Yukon wilderness.

Teams will take a mandatory layover at Fortymile before returning to Dawson the following day, ensuring rest for both mushers and their teams.

The race begins at 11:30am from the ice bridge on the Yukon River. Skijorers will leave with a 2-minute interval between each. Staggered start times will be factored into the mandatory layover durations.
