As you all know, this year’s Cain’s Quest Snowmobile Endurance race was cancelled this year.
Cain’s Quest board of directors is excited to announce an early resumption of the toughest snowmobile endurance race in the world.
An immediate release was released on March 22, 2023, by the Cain’s Quest Board of Directors.
In the wake of Cain’s Quest cancellation this spring with no winner declared, the board of directors decided to host the next race in 2024, rather than 2025 as would be typical of the bi-annual race.
The decision to host a 2024 race will be contingent on the approval of the essential Federal, Provincial and local funding as well as community and business partnerships all of which are necessary for successful race operations.
The cancellation of the 2023 race due to weather and safety conditions on March 7, 2023, the cancellation resulted in no winner being named for the prize purses of $500,000 for the first-place winner, $30,000 for the second place participant and $20,000 for the third place team.
The board of directors collaboratively discussed options for distributing the purse and the board decided anyone still in the race as of 1:29 am on March 7 would split the entire prize pot, the prize purse has already been split between racers, which the board hopes will help offset costs associated with racing in the next Cains Quest.
