La Ronge duo Ragnar Robinson and Scott Fraser completed the 715-kilometre Yukon River Quest in 48 hours and 15 minutes on July 6, 2023.
The overall race results reveal tightly packed brackets full of numbers, dates and names.
“It’s a slow increase in challenging yourself and eventually doing ultra events because you’re training to that level,” Robinson said.Article content In addition to regularly cross-country skiing between 55 and 60 kilometres, Robinson and Fraser trained robustly for the canoe race. They completed a three-day, 160-kilometre canoe trip in La Ronge, singing the praises of the La Ronge Pimiskatan Canoe Club that has made the sport so accessible.
Between Whitehorse and Dawson City, organizers estimate racers repeat the same paddle motion more than 300,000 times. They usually have to stay in one position for upwards of 30 hours. Along the route, they have to watch for two rapids: the Five Finger Rapids and Rink Rapids. “In the moment of the race, it’s not fun and you wonder why we’re doing this, but after the fact you find it was fun,” Fraser said.
