ukon Quest veteran Bill Stewart set a record for the fastest time in the Yukon Brewing Copper Haul Twister on Saturday.
It was another good turnout for the third of six monthly races, with eight kids’ teams, four pet-dog teams, and 25 Twister teams — from Atlin, Haines Junction, Carmacks, Mendenhall, Carcross, Tagish and Whitehorse — making it becoming a Yukon-wide race.
Mushers and skijorers from as far as Winnipeg, North Bay and England competed as well.
Next up in the Yukon Brewing League is the Duffy’s Pets and Tanzilla Harness Supply Race Day on Saturday Feb 24th.
