Eppie’s Pre-Race
Eppie’s Pre-Race
Current Adventures Kayaking, in cooperation with Eppie’s Great Race and the River City Paddler’s race club, stages this warm-up paddle race as a way for paddlers to prepare for The Great Race. Registration and awards are done in the same divisions as those for The Great Race. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire more skills, and get an appreciation of where you stand against your competition.
Check back in January for the 2011 Eppie’s Pre-Race date!
Time: Registration will be handled on-site, beginning at 8:30am, at the south side of the lower sunrise footbridge, downstream of Sunrise Ave.. The race will begin at 9:30am, and runs from the Sunrise footbridge to Goethe Park, covering the entire watercraft portion of The Great Race course. There will be snacks, awards and great prizes for all paddlers after the race.
Cost: $20/person
Helmets and life jackets are required. Racers must provide their own equipment, or arrange for rentals prior to race day through Current Adventures. All boats must be unsinkable. Paddlers must arrange their own shuttles, although some provision may be available from other participants and Current Adventures on race day.
