Running the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod back to back has been popular with mushers in recent years. But teams who compete in both have only a few weeks to recover before tackling a second 1,000 mile race. This year’s Yukon Quest was especially challenging, with brutal weather and horrific trail conditions. But mushers who are competing in both say they aren’t worried it will have any affect on the Iditarod.
