Yukon River Quest
Written by Jess Davies /
The Yukon River Quest is longest and arguably the most gruelling annual canoe and kayak race in the world. Held in north-west Canada, the race starts in Whitehorse and finishes in Dawson City some 720km downstream. The 250 entrants are given a strict cut off time of just 3½ days to complete the challenge, often having to paddle day and night to achieve their goal.
For the first time ever 12 paddle boarders were invited to enter as an ‘experimental class’ on the premise that if no one completed the race SUP board be excluded from all future events.
