The top three winners of the Yukon Quest sister race, the shorter Yukon Quest 300, also wore the parka and cold weather clothing system made by Northern Outfitters.

The top three mushers in the shorter YQ300 were Sven Haltmann, Magnus Klatenborn and Sean Williams. The YQ300 is a qualifying race to participate in the Iditarod in March 2010.

“I really want to thank the folks at Northern Outfitters for supplying me with the best winter clothing in the world. It stood up to everything the Yukon Quest could throw at it and performed flawlessly,” Hans Gatt said. The winners of the YQ300, Haltmann, Klatenborn and Williams all expressed their gratitude as well.

The time recorded by Gatt in the 1000-mile race beat the previous race record by more than a day. This was an extraordinary performance by him and his dog team. He finished in just over 9 days with his lead dog Sonny and nine dogs on the line.
