6 days, 9 hours, 12 minutes
Yukon 1000 is a 1,600 km long race – the toughest and longest paddling race in the world, where participants face isolation, exhaustion, and situations that demand survival skills.
Competitors follow the footsteps of early adventurers, paddling through the untouched wilderness of Canada and Alaska with only their boat partner; any contact with the outside world means disqualification from the race.
It is the ultimate challenge for both body and mind – in every 24-hour period, we could paddle for 18 hours and had to spend 6 hours on shore, of which we barely managed to sleep for 3 hours. To sleep, we had to put up a tent in a random spot in the wilderness, where there are hundreds of times more bears than people.
Yukon 1000 race – Documentary movie
Push Past Impossible
‘Push Past Impossible’ looks into the history of the world´s toughest survival race and tracks the stories of the incredible individuals who entered the 2023 Yukon 1000 event.
Tracking the very same path of the early frontiersmen and women during the Klondike gold rush in the late 1800s, the race draws 30 teams each year to compete in an unforgiving environment that is the last frontier on Earth.
Watch the movie to discover what it takes to complete the full 1000-mile race (spoiler: not all do). Shed tears, feel their pain, and be a part of the triumph with those who make it to the unremarkable finish line.
