Alabama 650
« on: October 10, 2023, 09:43:50 AM »
It's not the absolute longest (Yukon 1000 - Bart DeZwart! ) or longest unsupported ( Race to Alaska is unsupported and 750 miles of salt/ocean- go Karl Kruger! ) - I think it's the longest non-stop river race, or paddle-only non-stop race - and 650 miles in a CAR is a race! First time a sup has finished, and two of them made it. John Knippers is a down-to-earth dude with just incredible stamina and good attitude. https://www.alabamascenicrivertrail.com/great-alabama-650/
All the "live stuff" I can find seems to be Facebook.  https://www.facebook.com/GreatAlabama650
