Due to the ongoing drought, race organizers have made the call to switch this year's event to a downriver race. Sorry upstream enthusiasts, but the low water just makes it too difficult - your paddle blades will thank us for this change.
Meet at Snowden boat ramp (take-out) at 10:00 Sunday to set shuttle.
Race will be Bridge to Bridge: Start at RR bridge on Maury, end at pedestrian bridge on James (~4.5 miles).
Free.
No safety provided.
All boats welcome, but SUPs will find it especially easy for their fins to catch rocks:

They'd be portaging the boats upstream!
