"This is not your traditional marathon event. In the toughest single-day expedition paddling race in the world, canoes, kayaks and paddleboards traverse two rivers systems, three lakes and 20 portages. It’s a total of 130 kilometers in less than 24 hours. No assistance, no support and no mercy. Each year more than a third of teams drop out."

Very detailed article with interesting pictures:


The article is eight years old but the race is still being held. There will be a 58 KM ("sprint") and a the traditional 133 KM race on September 15-17, 2023.
