Discover the wonders of the Yukon River Quest, a grueling yet surprisingly accessible—not to mention addictive!—paddling race that takes you from Whitehorse to Dawson City through 700 kilometres of fast-moving water and spectacular views under the midnight sun. How do you prepare? What should you eat? How do you stay awake? What if you have to pee—or worse? How do you navigate? And what should you do once you finally reach the finish line? Come get a taste of this amazing event and place, enjoy the views and hear all about sleep deprivation, wild hallucinations, and epic butt blisters! It's type 2 fun at its best!
