HBQ Facebook Page
As we have passed the registration deadline and have not met our minimum requirement for registration for this years race we will have to cancel the 2018 HBQ.
As you all know we faced serious issues with the logistical portion of the race pertaining to the movement of Musher, handlers and committee members due to the closure of the rail line. We hope that these issues are fully worked out by July of this year and that we can then look forward to having a 2019 race.
We will be updating the website shortly.
We’d like to thank all of you for your support for the Hudson Bay Quest and in helping to make it such an amazing race over the years together we have done some amazing work and we hope we can keep doing it going forward.
We will keep everyone in the loop on the progress of the rail line issues and the committee should meet in mid July to discuss the 2019 race.
This year's Hudson Bay Quest will have some challenges without the train to ship the committee, teams, and gear from location to location. We have the following changes to the registration this year:
Registration deadline - Jan. 15
Cost - $600
Minimum teams needed to race - 6
Maximum teams permitted to race this year only - 10
If you carried over your registration fees from last year, and would like to confirm your spot in this year's race, please contact Echo at 431-232-3061, or at hudsonbayquest@hotmail.com
This is it folks - we are going for it and trying to run the 2018 HBQ with or without the rail. Registration will open later today, aiming for noon.
This will be our MOST self-sufficient race yet. We are working on the logistical possibilities, but racers will need to get themselves to and from the start, the finish and back.
