First 24 hours on Yukon Quest

Ryno Kennel left the start of the 2017 Yukon Quest at 11:42 AM yesterday. With internet spotty on the trail, this is our first chance to post some pictures of the first amazing day on the trail. Please enjoy!

First off, a picture of some amazing Yukon Quest volunteers at the start of the race: hundreds of volunteers are needed: from Veterinarians, Vet techs, race officials, logistic staff, timing staff and handlers. Thank you, thank you for making this amazing race possible.
