The river forecast is looking good for a “ripping” race on Saturday morning. We expect about a 6ft river level and 68-degree water temp.

REMINDERS:
Wetsuits are legal under 70-degrees but not required.

Drag buoys are always legal but not required.

You may bring a bag on the bus to the start - do NOT bring anything valuable (cell phone, wallet, keys, ID)

We race rain or shine. We will not race if there is thunderstorms.

Swimming in the rain is great- kayaking….not so much. Be sure to thank your volunteers!
