B.I.G. Canoe Race Results are now posted

From Roscommon Race Director Sean Brabant

Unfortunately we have to make the call and cancel this years Roscommon Canoe Classic. After multiple crews have been out working on the river the conditions are not safe for all levels of racing. I’ve been keeping in touch with local DNR and even though they granted our permit they said that the final call would come down to if I deem it safe for all paddlers, and I cannot. I’ll continue to reach out to all our sponsors and make proper arrangements. Thank you to everyone who helped try and make it happen, flood water and ice storm were too much this spring.

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.
