Yukon River Quest Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Yukon River Quest.
Without the people who give their time and energy each year,
the race would not go on.
The information below is for potential volunteers interested in getting in on the action,
having lots of
fun and helping us put on another great race!
