Braeburn
 
1st Official Checkpoint, 100 miles into the race
 

Three teams got to Braeburn just before and at midnight; the rest were on their way. Teams started to go past Muktuk Kennels just before 3:00pm, and Frank went by about 3:20pm. So most teams ran that distance in just under two hours, quite fast for that 23-mile stretch. In 2005, the first team arrived in Braeburn just before 1:00am Monday, so they are running faster this year. Frank usually takes around 15 hours for this section, which would bring him in around 4:30am.

 
02/11 Noon
By noon, all the Quest teams had left Braeburn. The last four teams departed between 8:55 and 10:50, with Kyla Boivin in the red lantern position.
 
02/11 8:30
Twenty-two teams have now left Braeburn. Four teams departed between 4:00 and 5:00: seven left between 5:00 and 6:00; five left between 6:00 and 7:00; and another five between 7:00 and 8:00. Most teams rested four to six hours, so the rests in Braeburn were generally shorter than in the past. Frank left at 7:45 after 6:19 rest time (he is still conservative on rest).
 
02/11 3:30
One team has now left Braeburn ? Hugh Neff, at 3:27, after 6 hours rest. Most of the other teams will likely head out over the next four to five hours. The last teams five Quest teams arrived by 3:00 AM. The Quest 300 Teams should begin arriving in a few more hours.
 
02/11 2:00
Twelve more teams arrived in Braeburn between 00:43 and 2:00 AM, their runs taking between 12.5 and 14.5 hours. Frank arrived at 1:26 in 18th position, with a run of 13:35 (that, incidentally, is the fastest he has ever done on this stretch).
 
02/11 1:00
Nine more teams arrived in Braeburn between 11:18 PM and 12:30 AM, all taking between 11.5 and 12.5 hours to cover the distance from Whitehorse to Braeburn. Eleven to twelve hours is what we expected the front-runner to take, so they are right on schedule.
 
02/10 23:00 PST
The first team got into Braeburn at 21:18. Hugh Neff left the start line at 11:54, so his running time was extremely fast: 9:24.
