Allen Moore of Two Rivers, Alaska, was the first Yukon Quest musher to reach Dawson City, Yukon, early Thursday.

The lead mushers in the Yukon Quest were expected to reach Dawson City sometime late Wednesday night or early this morning, where four ounces of gold await the first to arrive at the halfway point of the 1,000- mile sled-dog race from Fairbanks to Whitehorse, Yukon.

The first musher to the race’s halfway point at Dawson City is expected tonight. Mushers have been out of touch, on the remote 150 mile stretch of trail between Eagle and Dawson since last night when four-time champ Lance Mackey led Hugh Neff, Allen Moore, Brent Sass, Jake Berkowitz and Sonny Lindner out of the checkpoint.

The top 3 Yukon Quest leaders are running tight, but the group behind is not giving up as teams head over the next 500 miles of trail toward the finish in Whitehorse.
