At 3,500 kilometres of racing through the frozen wilderness of Labrador, the 2016 edition of the snowmobiling endurance test Cain’s Quest promises to be its longest route ever.
The 2016 race will start in Labrador West, and will then head to Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
From there, the route winds north up to Nain, and then skirts the coastline south to L’Anse au Loup, before turning back to the interior and finishing in Labrador West.
The 2016 race time has also changed.
The clock will start at 6 p.m. on Mar. 4, instead of the originally planned morning start on Mar. 5.
The changes appear to have proved popular with racers, with 35 teams entered so far in advance of the Nov. 30 deadline.
It costs $6,500 plus HST per team to enter, with a $100,000 prize purse to be split among the top finishers.
