The Goose Bay 120 dog sled race is a 120-mile fun run from the Tug Bar@Goose Bay Inn to Yentna Station (60 miles each way), with a mandatory eight-hour layover in Yentna Station. The 120 has become a great training race for other prestigious races, including the Iditarod. The late, great Joe Redington ran the 120 on his 80th birthday.
