The final results are in.

The 2015 Yukon River Quest wrapped up last weekend in Dawson City with cash prizes and other gifts being awarded at a ceremony Sunday.

While tandem kayakers Dave Hutchison and Bob Ross were the big winners after crossing the finish line first with a time of 44:51:07, everyone who completed the 715-kilometre raced took home a coveted finisher鈥檚 pin, among other prizes.

The win by Hutchison, from Montana, and Ross, from Kingston, Ont., earned each of them $650 alongside free entry into next year鈥檚 race 鈥� if they decide to enter as the same team.

They also will have their names etched onto the River Quest trophy.

Other special cash award winners included top Yukon finishers Jake Paleczny and Karen Mann, who finished in 50:05.
