You are looking for a race that is
actually FUN and still pushes you. One that you can compete in
as a soloist or that you can try to brave with some of your friends. THIS is
the race for you!!
Athletes can register as SOLO Racers
or as teams
which can compete in 3
categories: Male, Female, and Coed. The teams can be
as big as you want them to be - they will be competing for the ultimate
trophy in each of the categories!
The paddling will take place on the
Rappahannock River. There are some decent rapids on the 4 mile river
section, so be ready to get wet. The run is challenging with good climbs,
great single track, and fire roads. Free post race food and beer
are guaranteed to all competitors. This is set up to possibly become one of the
best times you will have at a race in 2013, so come out and join us
for this "adventure".
