The winner’s circle at the 2016 Babe Southwick looked awfully familiar to mushing fans on Sunday.

For the second straight year, top performers in the historic race were Armin Johnson, Katherine Sheepway and Mandy  Johnson.

Armin Johnson and Sheepway won the 19-kilometre sled and skijor races, respectively, while Mandy Johnson took victory in the recreational sled and skijor race.

Harley Kloer won the kids race.

The race was held Sunday morning at the former Yukon Dog Mushers Association trails in the Ibex Valley.

Twelve competitors attempted the longer race, while 10 more participated in the short event – including two first-timers.

Dominic and Isabel Firth-Gruben both competed, as training ahead of an Arctic X Games race in Alaska.

Armin Johnson finished in 44:52, more than three minutes ahead of runner-up Dave Johnson.

Sheepway and her four dogs (46:06) beat Virginia Sarrazin and her three dogs by over five minutes, while Mandy Johnson and her six sled dogs (13:26) bested skijorer Magnus Kaltenborn and his two dogs by more than three minutes.

With another Yukon Quest complete and filed into the territory’s mushing annals last week, the focus once again turns to the Whitehorse recreational sled dog circuit.

Next weekend, the mid-distance Cinnamon Bun Run will be held, with mushers and skijorers completing the 225-km route from Takhini Hot Pools to Braeburn, and return.

Teams will begin the journey at the hot springs Saturday at 11 a.m.

Upon reaching Braeburn, they will enjoy a six-hour mandatory layover at the lodge.

Fourteen mushers are currently on the start list for the Cinnamon Bun Run, including Yukon Quest veterans Ed Hopkins, William Kleedehn, Kyla Boivin and Gerry Willomitzer.

Following the route of the Yukon Arctic Ultra and Yukon Quest, the race is one of the longest skijor races in the world.

To date, two skijorers have registered.
