Grayling to McMasters Bridge is what they ran this year, my guess is it was the same in 2021. Typically about 2 hours and 40 minutes for the leaders up to 4 hours for the rest of the pack

it's 120 miles from Grayling to Oscoda, MI!

The teams are two paddlers from start to finish, all through the night!

@@derenzydyad no, i mean two canoes seem to arrive at each portage together at night: always 2 it seems from your video

Those two canoes leading will stay together if each team can keep the pace together they'll ride each other's wake if they agree to. Many times one team will not take the lead and follow the front canoe close behind. It's like surfing riding another boats wake. And saves alot of energy. Close to the finish line if still together they'll sprint to win and the team riding front canoes wake will have saved enough energy to take off passing the worn out front team

@@unclejohnthezef a lot of teams do throughout the race. It helps break up the monotony of paddling hours on end. It’s also a great help to teams that may not know the best paths through the ponds. They will try to link up with more experienced teams and follow them as it’s easy to get lost in the fog and the open water of the ponds.
