How long will this Quest be? Do they stop at night for sleep?
The Quest is just over 1000 miles. The winner will be in Fairbanks in about 10 days. They stop whenever they can, but not neccessarily at night. Many mushers run with a schedule, often run for 4 hours, rest for 4. There is a mandatory 36 hour stop in Dawson City and vets at every check point. The dogs get better care than the mushers! There are always vets available, but not always a physician!
