Paddling the Yukon River Quest – for Woodwynn Farms.
The Yukon River Quest (www.yukonriverquest.com) has been touted as the longest annual canoe and kayak marathon, and one of the toughest. Janice Mason and her 21 year old nephew Robin have decided to take on the challenge of the river and will be on the start line at noon on June 30, 2010 for the run to the boats along with 80 other teams and individuals. They are paddling in a tandem kayak in an event that includes single & tandem kayaks, solo & tandem canoes and voyageur canoes from around the world.
The race covers 746 km of the Yukon River, from Whitehorse to Dawson City. Their goal is to reach the city of Klondike Gold Rush fame within 60 hours of leaving Whitehorse. Other than 2 mandatory stops (the first of 7 hours and the second of 3) the race is a continuous paddle down river.
TO DONATE: and for more details please contact Janice at jemcity@shaw.ca
Cheques made payable to Woodwynn Farms can be mailed to: Janice Mason, #102 – 1825 Kings Road, Victoria, BC, V8R 0A3. YOU can also donate directly to Woodwynn Farms through their website; however, amounts donated directly through website will not count toward Janice’s fundraising endeavour.
Good luck Robin and Janice, ORS wishes you safe travel!
