River City Marathon and Mini-Marathon
This is a great race for all skill levels and paddling craft with at least a touch of experience on the river. Short or long course the start is dramatic off the line at Sailor Bar, and the challenges of racing long boats in current and small rapids is unique. Awards and great lunch fare as well as raffle prizes help spice up the apres race affair for all participants.
