We want to support a cause that recognizes the importance of outdoor education in youth, something that is often hard to access in an increasingly urbanized world.

I love Yukon, Alaska and being on the water in incredible environment. I like personal challenges. I have completed hardest triathlons, foot races, swim races and bike races in the world. Kayaking brings me back to my teenage years witch I spent training and racing on Danube river

Age: 37
From: Fairbanks, AK, United States
I am an archaeologist with the University of Alaska Fairbanks. My position requires me to be in remote areas of Alaska for extended periods at a time. A lot of my fieldwork is conducted by either rafting/packrafting or with inflatable kayak. I've had the opportunity to see some amazing rivers and lakes in Alaska and am looking forward to seeing the Yukon!
My aim is to be safe and finish the race in under the allotted time and continue to compete in future paddle races.
Doing this for my father, a lover of the Yukon!

A few YRQ's (including 3x C1) and local races. 35+ years of northern wilderness experience, much of it solo by ski, horseback, dogteam, canoe, foot. Known to drag the odd kid (ages 30, 28, and 12) along as required for their health and mine.
Physically/mentally exhausted, sleep deprived, remote, no one around, fast moving current - what could go wrong?!Always be in the moment.Don't hate the river, the race, people, logs that look like people, people who look like logs. Properly use my GoPro, GPS, Maps. Basically stop being a luddite and learn from my mistakes.
Indulge mother nature head on.Life is too short: I'm not getting any younger :-)and secondly, because I still can.....and this too shall pass........
