Veteran musher Brent Sass wins Yukon Quest 300
Veteran musher and three-time Yukon Quest winner Brent Sass won this year's 482-kilometre YQ300 race.
The race started Saturday afternoon in Whitehorse and Sass crossed the finish line, also in Whitehorse, on Tuesday at 1:44 a.m., about half an hour before second-place finisher Michelle Phillips from Tagish, Yukon. Mayla Hill of Grande Prairie, Alta., came in third.
"I feel great. I feel really good. It was really fun driving that dog team for the last 300 miles," said Sass, an Alaskan who has been running dogs for 17 years.
The YQ300 is one of two races that took place this year in the Yukon, while two other Yukon Quest races were held earlier this month in Alaska. Traditionally, the Yukon Quest is a 1,600-kilometre (1,000 miles) race between Whitehorse and Fairbanks, Alaska.
