Tomorrow is the day! Remember if you are racing helmets and life jackets are required. Sprints sign up is 8:30 at Manning Mill road,start at 9. Full race starts at 12 sign up is 9-11.

We ran the whole course yesterday everything is run able, cleaned a few trees out of the way. There is a couple more rocks sticking out of the water than usual because of the lack of rain but we will make the best out of it. See you tomorrow!

Attention Spectators!!!

Around 12:30 this Saturday at the Emerson Mill Rd bridge racers will be coming through! This is the best place to watch the action for the Souadabscook Stream Canoe Race! We will have cones out and a section of the bridge coned off so you can watch right from the bridge. Also another place to watch is the Manning Mill Rd bridge and the Paper Mill Rd bridge. If your watching from Paper Mill please do not park in front of the gate as racers will be running through the gate.

Also come to the end at the Hampden Water district for amazing raffle prizes and Girl Scouts cookies will be sold there too!
