River Runners

A dogsled team tears out of Whitehorse at the start of the River Runner 100 on February 23rd. This 120 mile overnight race organized by the Dog Powered Sport Association of Yukon was part of the 49th annual Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous festival. I was set up to start shooting optimally as the team approached closer but this initial exposure after they first appeared around a bend captured them best, though it was at a focal length that required heavy cropping to achieve the tight composition.
