GILLAM to CHURCHILL, MANITOBA
|

| The HUDSON BAY QUEST DOG SLED RACE is a yearly 220 mile (330 kilometer) race from Gillam to Churchill, Manitoba.
Dog teams travel along the edge of Wapusk National Park (home of the western Hudson Bay's polar bears); follows a traditional trapping route (Hudson's Bay Company trade route); the Hudson Bay rail line; and Gillam/Churchill hydro line. A select section of the race is also run on the Churchill River.
The Hudson Bay Quest is a traditional race built on the history of the fur trade, the Hudson's Bay Company and the early days of Churchill, Manitoba. It harkens back to a time when 'There ain't no law of God nor man goes north of 53°’ was a common saying.
