Racers are encouraged to participate in kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards, and Voyager canoes. We plan to wrap up the day with a kids kayak race on the river. Our race route is specially designed so that racers will be in sight the entire time in a 2 mile loop in Ellis Bay, making multiple laps. Kayaks and Canoes will race 10 miles, stand up paddle boards will race 4 miles.
So whether you are a spectator or a competitor, we invite you to join the fun with us later this month.
