It is with great sadness I have to make this announcement but due to the current situation we feel this is in everyone’s best interest to cancel the Klondike Challenge that had been postponed to April 18-19, 2020. See you in 2021!! Sincerely, The Oscoda Klondike Challenge Committee

MCRA will waive late fees for 2020 membership due to the uncertainty of this season. However, if a racer did not pay their 2019 dues and wish to retain their MCRA registered canoe number, then the April 4, 2020 deadline will apply.

Since we won’t have a membership meeting at the Klondike this year we have moved the voting for approval of the 2020 MCRA Race Schedule online. Please take a minute to vote here: 2020 MCRA Race Schedule Approval Voting
- March 14, 2020Due to the state’s recommendation regarding public events of more than 100 people, we are concerned holding the Klondike canoe and 5k events on April 4 & 5, 2020. The state suggests all events be cancelled or postponed until after April 5, 2020. We are hoping to move the date of the Klondike to April 18 & 19, 2020. As the organizing body of this event we feel that postponing the event is in the best interest of the participants and our community. We will continue to monitor current public health concerns and keep everyone updated if things change.Sincerely, The Oscoda Klondike Challenge Committee
