FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Before the competitors in the Midnight Sun Run were competing on the land, the boaters in the Yukon 800 dominated the water.
This year, a familiar name won the race.
For the fourth time, Tom Kriska led his team to a first place finish in the Yukon 800.
The Be-Bi-Bones Express, consisting Tom, Shanay, and Shantille Kriska, finished the 800 mile race in 13 hours, 13 minutes, and 18 seconds.
Second place went to the boat named Bi-Polar, captained by Bobby Frankson, who finished in 13 hours, 21 minutes and 46 seconds.
And rounding out the top three for this year's edition of the Yukon 800 will the "Little Red", captained by Earl Mahler.
10 boat teams initially started the race, but all but four scratched at some point along the trail.
