Stopping the race, we’d shorten it/enforce additional rest at checkpoints… which meant teams could focus on the safety and wellbeing of their teams.
Our 6 dog race restart happens today, will update you once the frostbitten fingers are working again!
Thanks for all your support

What a race week! So sorry for lack of Bluesky posts this week… been a Challenge n a half!
Trail changed a week before the race, loss of a checkpoint a day before the race (due to the sad death of a community elder), and a severe snow storm the day of the race with blowing snow and huge drifts…

You’re very right. The forests used to have controlled burns to ensure regeneration, this was a massively devastating wildfire burn. They will recover.. already new growth appearing, green shoots of hope.

Race updates… trail is looking good… sad to see the wildfire impact and those burned trees but… trail is good.
