This is a tentative schedule, subject to 2002 Alaska Ferry sailings. With the exception of the ferry trip, lodging from the night of August 16 through the morning of August 25 (9 nights accomodation) is included in the entry fee and booked by the organizers.  The ferry cruise is optional, and teams are responsible for their own reservations and expenses.  (The alternate route is north up the Cassiar Highway, then west on the Alaska Highway toward Skagway). Additional rooms at the Chateau Jasper are available at a special rate.

Entrants will be on their own for accomodation prior to the event start (the start location is not yet confirmed).
