The Yukon 1000 for me started when I was in college back in 2008. A college lecturer named Dr John Brady took interest in my kayaking career and told me about this incredibly long race going from Canada into Alaska. I let it stew for years knowing how important timing would be before I chased this incredible adventure. After the last Yukon 1000 in 2018 I decided to put together a team to hopefully be accepted into the race for 2020. Most important was picking the right team member, I was looking for experience, resilience, willingness to train, patience and above all the want to compete. Jim Kennedy was a perfect fit. With over 40 year’s experience along with a very competitive marathon background I feel we will make a great team. The Yukon 1000 is a race that will take you to the most remote areas of the world while physically and mentally challenging you. Both Jim and I bring different aspects to the table and we are looking forward to working together on the race. I aim to post training and other updates here regularly, please check back for updates! https://www.instagram.com/yukon1000_teamireland/
