In 2026, the GOATs of expedition adventure (Nathan Fa'avae and Sophie Hart) set their sites (for the second time) on breaking the Yukon 1000 record. They's already won the event in 2024, and had learned a lot in the process that they thought they could improve. So they went back. Could they paddle the 1000 miles of the Yukon faster than ever before? Well if you followed the race, you know the answer. Yes. We talk to Nathan just shortly after his return home and learn about his race, his injuries, his retirement, and his having to "harden up" at the very end .
