The Yukon River Quest starts in Whitehorse and follows the winding ribbon of the Yukon River 700+ kilometres to Dawson City. Competitors fight through rapids, sleepless nights, and long, lonely stretches of wilderness. A mandatory 10-hour stop at the approximate halfway point is often the only sleep paddlers will get over the 40-80 hours it takes to finish the race.
