A breathtaking paddle race in the SUP category that pushes its daring participants to the limits of their endurance and wilderness experience. This 50- to 60-hour challenge takes place in the depths of the Canadian wilderness, far from any civilization and barely accessible via conventional roads.
In the midst of this challenge, Thomas Schillig, an ultra long distance paddler and Yukon connoisseur, ventures into this adventure again. He is fascinated by the aura of the Yukon River and is driven by the prospect of such epic long-distance races. A race that tests not the body but also the mind and makes adventurers' hearts beat faster.
