Backcountry snowmobiling is truly like nothing else. If you've never done it, I understand; but if you ever have the chance to go on a guided tour and get training from someone who really knows what they're doing, I hope you take it. Why? Because it's gorgeous and exhilarating, of course!
But if you're already an enthusiast of the sport, and especially if you're in North America, then you might already know about Cain's Quest. Earlier this month in 2026, the extremely hardcore, 3,400-kilometer (around 2,112-ish miles, give or take) endurance race across the majority of the wilds of Labrador completed its 20th year. And while teams for this endurance race are normally made up of two racers, one team named Big Red Racing actually crossed the finish line with three, in a manner of speaking.
As the CBC reported, racer Jordan Anthony had last competed in Cain's Quest with racing partner Ryan Conley in 2024. Both men are in their mid-30s, but unfortunately, only one of them was able to compete in the 2026 round on this corporeal plane. While they'd both been involved with the event on support crews prior to becoming a race team in 2024, Anthony sadly died in October 2024 from carbon monoxide poisoning.
