Join Run For Our Sons' first-ever Canadian race team at the 2012 Yukon River Trail Marathon!

Located in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, this race was voted one of the Top Ten Trail Races in Canada. The Yukon River Trail Marathon, small by almost any standard, grew out of a movement to trail running that also lead to increased interest in ultra-distance running. The trail is both scenic and challenging, and as a loop course offers a diverse and rewarding introduction to Yukon trail running.

Runners must register directly with the race organizers for this race!!!
