The Inaugural "Not-NPFF" Downriver Race & Club Championship 2010

The Inaugural "Not-NPFF" Downriver Race & Club Championship on the Elkhorn will take place February 27th at 1:00 pm.

Register at the Elkhorn Acres take-out @ noon.

The race will be mass start below the dam and run to the old (illegal) take out. Drafting skilzz will be crucial.

There will be 3 age classes for both individual men and women: 18 - 40 /40 - 60 / 60 & up.

More importantly, there will also be a club championship...Vikings vs BWA vs ?

We would like to get other clubs (Cincy boaters, etc...) to join in the club competition. Anyone know any Cincy paddlers?

Club teams need at least 5 members to qualify. Scoring will be top five from each clubs finish order added together to get a score, lowest combined club score wins.

The weather the last few years has been terrible. Hopefully this year will be better. We're going to work on providing a shuttle as well as awards for winners.

PS...this is going to be a "fun run". Paddlers that wouldn't normally do a kayak race should definitely get out and give it a shot!
