We're a small business that comes up with $100,000 profit every year, says Debbie Rork, business manager of Yukon International Ltd. in Fairbanks. But this organization calls its profit a purse and gives it away.
The Yukon Quest is a 1,000-mile sled-dog race held each February between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Race starts alternate between the two cities. The grueling long-distance event, conceived by LeRoy Shank and Roger Williams in 1983, was first run in 1984 and has been growing in stature and impact ever since.
