2007 Yukon Quest - awarded the Dawson Award - 4 ounces of Klondike placer gold sponsored by Joe and Wendy Fellers of Dawson City - for being the first musher to arrive in Dawson City, and continue to the Finish Line. Lance told the crowd he was using some of the gold to enter another dog sled race based in Nome next season. The sweepstakes is a winner-take-all run to recognize the Nome gold rush. The entry fee is a combination of cash and one ounce of gold. Lance also said he would donate one of the ounces to fellow competitor Aaron Burmeister for his entry fee.

Musher Frank Turner was not able to be at the banquet but sent ahead a message to Lance Mackey which was read to the crowd by Executive Director (Alaska), Julie Estey.

'In all of the years of the Quest that I have participated in (and unfortunately not long enough this year), there has never been another musher who has brought the level of enthusiasm and dog care that you consistently have brought into play. You are an inspiration to everyone who loves the sport of sled-dogs,' said Turner.

2007 Yukon Quest Golden Harness Award
Lance Mackey's lead dogs Hobo Jim and Lippy were awarded the Golden Harness Award which included two harnesses crafted by Taiga Mushing Supplies and steaks, cooked by the chef of the Westmark and presented to the two dogs on stage.

2008 Yukon Quest Veterinarian’s Choice Award
Four-time Champion Lance Mackey’s emotional response to being chosen for the 2008 Veterinarian’s Choice Award that will stay in everyone’s mind when the 25th Yukon Quest is but a distant memory. Lance was his upbeat and humble self while accepting his prize for First Place for the fourth year in a row.

When the surprise announcement came that Lance had been chosen by the Yukon Quest’s team of 14 veterinarians for his superb dog care on the trail, the man they call “invincible” was visibly shocked and shaken. “This means more to me than winning this damn race,” said Lance. In his earlier acceptance speech he spoke at length about his dog team and how, “for whatever reason they go out of their way to please me.”

2008 Yukon Quest Golden Harness Award
Lance Mackey's lead dogs Handsome and Rev were given raw steak by the High Country Inn for winning the Golden Harness Award.

Mackey’s fourth win this year is a Yukon Quest record. He confirmed plans to run the Yukon Quest next year with the goal of achieving five championships in a row.

2008 Iditarod - The PenAir Spirit of Alaska Award presented to the first musher to reach McGrath. Lance received a spirit mask created each year by Bristol Bay artist, Orville Lind for the award and a $500 credit on PenAir.

2008 Iditarod - Millenium Hotel first to the Yukon Award, which includes a seven-course meal prepared by the hotel’s head chef along with an “after dinner mint” of $5,000. Lance inhaled the meal in Ruby, where it was awarded. He’ll get a second chance to enjoy it at a slower pace. The hotel serves the same meal to the winner at a later date.
