Race Update – 4/16/26 12:00pm
Unfortunately, due to flood-stage water levels, this weekend’s race has been cancelled. The safety of our paddlers and community is our top priority.
We are actively working to secure permits and finalize plans to move the race to another weekend. We will provide another update within the next 24 hours with more details and next steps.
We will issue refunds if needed. If you would like to wait to see if we can move the race to another weekend, please let us know.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We truly appreciate it.
