In this week's episode of the Backroads Bill Podcast, endurance paddlers Sean Lougheed and Lauren Anderson take us deep inside the preperation for the upcoming Yukon 1000, the longest canoe race on Earth — from Whitehorse to the Arctic Circle. 

For roughly 10 days, they will paddle 18 hours a day, braving storms, sleep deprivation, and total isolation with only a GPS and each other to rely on.

The toughest part? Getting accepted into the race in the first place.
