The race began back
in 1977 as a way to
honour the legendary
Percy DeWolfe, who
courageously carried
mail by dog team,
horse, and boat
between Dawson City,
YT and Eagle, AK,
from 1910 to 1949.
In 1910 Percy got a
contract to carry
the mail. He carried
the mail summer and winter through all kinds of
weather, road and river conditions.
The race reserves the first official race start time
of 10:00 in honour of Percy DeWolfe. The first
musher to 'follow Percy' at 10:02 carries a bag of
mail from Dawson City to Eagle. You can be
part of honouring our history by purchasing an
official Percy DeWolfe letter, which gets sent in
this first bag of mail.
