Nunavik’s 20th Ivakkak Dogsled Race was held this year on Nunavik’s Hudson Bay Coast starting in Salluit, Nunavik, February 24 and ending in Puvirnituq, Nunavik, March 10. Racers travelled across two Nunavik communities, Ivujivik and Akulivik.
With poor weather deteriorating into blizzard conditions at the start of the race, after the first two days, many of the teams were ferried part of the way to Ivujivik by snowmobile and sled.
On the way to Akulivik, the teams spent over night at three separate checkpoints. The first leg, March 1, was about a 55‐km run to Lake Sijatalialuk.
