Race Course
This year’s NEW Elk River race course (TBA) is an extreme navigational challenge! Are you ready?
The new course not only takes physical fortitude, but also mental acuity. Following a serpentine route through the upper estuary and duck hunter’s paradise*, your mind (but hopefully not your boat) may be mired by the beauty and challenge of the back country. Beware that you may encounter jumping fish, elk, deer, bear, shallow water, weeds, mud, and evidence of the 1700 tsunami! (May not be suitable for 8-man rowing shells. Marginally more challenging for the 8+ & 8X rowing shells.)
You must be in tune with nature and have the mental toughness to complete this marvelous (stupendous, adventurous) event. Be there, accept the challenge, and enjoy a free albacore tuna barbecue and oysters afterwards.
Free camping available.
*Ducks are not in season. Please, no shotguns on the race course.
