Neil, I have not had the time to find the info on the race I mentioned 
above.(I will send it when I do) There is also a race that covers the 
same river, plus some hiking(gasp). Check out the 1998 Buyer's Guide of 
Canone&Kayak, page 21. It tell about the Dyea to Dawson race(longer yet)
With out going into all the details, the first place finisher was in 4 
days, 8 hours, 49 minutes, and 16 sec. That was in a recreation-class 
canoe! (what ever that means??)

More to come on the other race.

BTW: that was hiking 33 miles, paddling across 100 miles of lakes and 
then some 450 miles of the Yukon river.(but then they never had to mess 
with fire ants either) <G>

James
