About the Yukon River Trail Marathon

This northern Canadian full gives trail runners a close look at the landscape around Whitehorse. The marathon has its own course and rules within a program that also includes a half and relay.

Course

Singletrack through boreal forest and Yukon River terrain accumulates about 897 metres of gain. Roots, turns, short climbs and remote-feeling sections demand attention well beyond the raw distance.

Race-day weather

August in Whitehorse can be pleasantly cool, but rain, wind or warm sun are all possible. Forest shade may hide wet roots and mud while open river sections feel more exposed.
