📊 DAY 1 - LEADERBOARD 🚣‍♂️

The team from 🇳🇿 New Zealand has made a bold move, setting their sights on last year’s fastest kayak title. Best Foot Forward ( #4) absolutely blasted through Day 1 — an incredible start! But can they keep up that blistering pace? ⏱️💨

🌊 We’re keeping a close eye on Team Untapped ( #3), who took an unexpected swim in the rougher waters of Lake Laberge. It’s a tough moment early in the race, and we’re hoping it’s not a race-ending blow. 💔

The race is heating up, and there’s still a long way to go! Have a listen to the Race Directors updates for a more detailed account.
