Quetico Race

Quetico Provincial Park continues to celebrate its Centennial Anniversary with the return of the legendary Cross Quetico Canoe Race.

The 200-kilometre endurance challenge takes competitive paddlers over lakes, portages, rivers and creeks.

The original race started in 1962.

This year's race starts Saturday morning at 6 o'clock and is expected to end Sunday night at 6.

The starting and end point is the Main Beach of French Lake at the Dawson Trail Campground.

20-teams from Minnesota and Ontario are scheduled to compete.
