The challenges of tracking dog mushers and their furry friends as they traverse the wilderness during a dog sled race in northern Canada.
The Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race is a 320km dog sled race through the wilderness of the Yukon in northern Canada. We have been volunteers for over 15 years, from website building to dog wrangling, but our real passion project has been providing race tracking using open source web mapping software. In this talk, I'll share some of the challenges of tracking mushers and their furry friends in such a remote part of the world.
