volunteer FOR THE RACE

It ain’t an easy course, but she’s beautiful! The course starts on the Millennium Trail, then travels on single-track to Kwanlin (Miles Canyon) and Canyon City, continues on the Yukon River trail towards Chadburn Lake, follows the beautiful trails along Chadden Lake, Schwatka Lake, and Hidden Lakes to end up near the Whitehorse dam where runners return to the Millennium Trail, and run next to the Yukon river to the finish area. This scenic run is an amazing way for locals and visitors to take in the beauty the City of Whitehorse has to offer.

GET INVOLVED

Races can't happen without people to, er, run them. Not a runner? No problem! There is always room on our volunteer team. Racers need to be directed onto the right trail, watered along the course, and fed at race end. We also run the timing system and sound system, gathering and sharing the race results. 

You ARE a runner or walker? We have several tasks in the days and months before race day too. YRTM is run by a volunteer board of directors and various committees who obtain funding, organize logistics, coordinate volunteers, post information on this website and other media… 

All volunteers receive a small gift, a snack on race, and tons of appreciation from runners on the course.

25 YEARS AND RUNNING STRONG
