Racer Profile: Jeff & Carrie Sona

Jeff and Carrie Sona are two distinct people, but they race together so often it seems absurd to talk about one without the other. Both are relatively new to endurance sports, but have quickly risen to the top of the ranks.

Jeff and Carrie formed the nucleus of the original Gateway Adventure team. What started as a recreational venture turned increasingly competitive. In 2004, they stepped beyond the limits of long course racing and entered the Beast of the East. With only 4 hours of sleep during their 96-hour odyssey, they posted an impressive 9th in their first expedition length event.

Jeff and Carrie are often accompanied on paddle workouts by their two daughters who enjoy ambushing other boats with super soakers.
