Grayling in the race
Grayling is one of a string of Yukon checkpoints. The long, wind-exposed river running can be monotonous and brutally cold — a mental as much as physical test.
Mile markers are approximate and shift with the year's route. Grayling sits on the interior leg of the 2027 southern route.
Background
History
A Yukon River village resettled in the 20th century and named for the grayling fish of the region.
