Racers for the 2018 Cain’s Quest Snowmobile Endurance Race started their long journey across Labrador in Lab City today.
Kristie Holwell is the checkpoint official for Nain.
Racers are expected to arrive in Nain, NL, Check Point 4 of the race, on Sunday, March 4.
They will have a 12 hours layover in Nain.
Holwell says that yesterday, the volunteers put some markers up from southern point up to the dock here, and on up to the Jeremias Sillett Centre.
The markers are to guide the racers into town.
They’re also for safety purposes, because the racers are going to be coming in off the ice at high speeds.
