Event Details
  • Want to paddle or form a team? No experience necessary! You’ll need 20 paddlers plus a drummer. Teams also need 4 alternate paddlers, just in case - that's a team of 25.
  • Great for team-building and employee morale!
  • Teams will race in heats of 2-3 boats. Your times from the first two heats are averaged to determine which 8-10 teams move on to the championship race.
