Miles from previous Checkpoint: 42
Although well traveled by locals on snowmachines, this is often some of the most brutal miles in the race. Leading into Shaktoolik often presents ground blizzards and tough snow drifts making it tough for teams to navigate. Shaktoolik is a village with around 230 very friendly and warm people.
