Our Competitors
Foot Guards: Richard Archer, Jonathan Frith
Second place winners who hail from Surrey, UK. They raised nearly 10,000 pounds for injured soldiers. Learn more about this team through their twitter page.
Kayaking for Conservation: Marcus Savage, Peter Tyrrell
These gentlemen travelled from Nairobi, Kenya to race! They were raising money and awareness for rangers that protect rhinos and elephants in Kenya. You can read about them in the Whitehorse Daily Star here, visit their website here, or visit their Facebook page here!
Mainely Nuts: Brad Krog, Terry Wescott
First place winners were 63 and 67 respectively and had the most canoe experience of all the teams combined! You can read about them in the Portland Press Herald here.
Brothers in Arms: Hamish and Geordie Mackay-Lewis
Another team from the UK! Two brothers who got to spend some quality time together learning how to kayak, fix boats, and come from behind. Read Hamish's two lessons that he learned from the river on his coaching website here.
The Trail Events Team: Phil Langman, Iain Lomas
This is a team we got to spend the most time with. They have done an incredible amount of adventure racing from rowing across an ocean in record time, to running desert ultra marathons, to the Yukon 1000. You can read about their adventure and see beautiful pictures on their website here.
Tourists from Europe: Holger and Malte L Schmieding
A father-son duo from Germany! These two had completed the Yukon 360 two years prior in some of the worst weather that the race director feared they would not return for the 1000. They not only returned but finished in the fastest, last place time since the beginning of the race. Holger Schmieding is a chief economist with a brilliant take on the world's economy that you can read about on his blog here.
