Four riders take on the ultimate snowmobile challenge, attempting to complete a staggering 1000 mile loop of New Brunswick's wild, legendary snowmobile trail system... in just 24 hours. Two teams of two riders leave from the same point, traveling opposite directions around the loop. Battling a blinding snowstorm, unpredictable animals, machine malfunctions, and their own extreme fatigue, these brave sledders and their dauntless support teams race against the clock to make it back to the start line in 24 hours. First run on a wild whim and prayer by Rudy Fowler in 2021, this epic challenge has grown into an internationally-recognized event, auditioning scores of riders, tracked live by tens of thousands of fans around the world, and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to send kids to camp. The 2023 Thousand Mile Challenge Riders were:
Myles Darrow, riding a 2003 Skidoo Mach Z 800 Triple: 1120 miles, 23 hrs 50 minutes
Justin Young, riding a 2016 Arctic Cat XF 1100 Turbo: 1120 miles, 23 hrs 50 minutes
Jeffrey O'Donnell, riding a 2021 Polaris 650 VRI: 1120 miles, 27 hrs 40 minutes
