Yukon 700 2026 for the Colonels Fund
Jul 5, 2026 3:52 pm
In just over 3 weeks, a team of 10 Grenadiers, including 5 wounded , will take on one of the most demanding canoe expeditions in the world: the Yukon 700.
Paddling 750km from Whitehorse to Dawson City in open canoes, they will travel unsupported through the wilds of the Yukon, facing long days, challenging conditions, exhaustion and the relentless demands of one of the planet’s great wilderness rivers.
But this expedition is about far more than distance.
It is about resilience, recovery and proving that adversity does not define a soldier. These five Grenadiers have all faced significant challenges through injury, and now they are taking on an extraordinary test of determination and teamwork.
The expedition is raising vital funds for The Colonel’s Fund Grenadier Guards, helping support serving Grenadiers, veterans and their families during times of hardship and need.
Every mile paddled represents courage. Every donation helps make a real difference.
