First Major Fund Raiser for 2010

Race to the Midnight Sun

Ian Pitchford and Keith Ovenden. our  two Directors at AECIC have entered for the 2010 Yukon River Quest Adventure Race. This event will be the first major fund raising event in the life of AECIC and we hope to raise at least £20K.

The 740-kilometre (460-mile) wilderness adventure paddling race is held on the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City in Canada's Yukon Territory. Held during the last week of June, the YRQ is known as the “Race to the Midnight Sun”. Paddlers race round-the-clock, as the sky never gets dark. It is a true marathon with just two mandatory rest stops of 10 hours over the course of the entire event.

Training has started and we will keep sponsors informed of progress throughout 2010.
