❄️That’s a wrap on the historic 50th Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race! 💌🐺

Half a century of honoring the legendary mail carrier, Percy DeWolfe, and the rich history of our river trails. This 50th milestone was truly unforgettable, and it took a massive village to pull it off. We have so many people to thank:

To the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in: Thank you for welcoming us and allowing this race to take place on your traditional territory. We are deeply grateful for your continued support, partnership, and community spirit. Mahsi' cho.

To the Board of Directors & Organizers: Your countless hours of planning behind the scenes turned a monumental 50th-anniversary vision into a reality. Thank you for keeping this legacy alive.

To the Volunteers: From breaking trail and checking gear to making sure everyone was fed, warm, and safe at the checkpoints—you are the absolute heartbeat of this race. We couldn't do this without you!

To the Participants and their incredible dog teams: Thank you for your grit, sportsmanship, and dedication. You braved the elements and brought the true spirit of the North to life out on the trail.

To the Community: To the sponsors, the cheering fans, Dawson RCMP, Dawson Post Office, and everyone who contributed in any little way—whether you donated money, supplies, or just lent a helping hand—thank you!

Here’s to 50 years of history, community, and the incredible bond between musher and dog. The mail was delivered, the memories were made, and Percy’s legacy lives on. 🐾❄️💌📬
