was increased as per feedback from last year. We have great single track and jeep trail for riding,
and jeep trail for the trek. The race will not include orienteering this year.
You must supply your own boat for the race. Teams may use 2 kayaks, a canoe or a tandem kayak.
Boats must be propelled by paddle, no pedal kayaks. If you do not have a boat and would like to
rent one, please contact the race director. We have some single kayaks, tandem kayaks and canoes available for a
very low rate.
