The cost is $25 for any single race, and $5 more for each additional race. Children 12 and under race for free! The price of any single race event gets you into the festival and a t-shirt. The logistics of all the races are still being worked out so it may be that one cannot enter all 3 competitions due to time and judging conflicts.
Please note that, unlike in past years, lunch will not be provided but that several food vendors will be present.
IMPORTANT – In addition to the cost for the race(s), insurance is required! If you are already an ACA (American Canoe Club) member then be sure to bring your current membership info. If you are not a member (or can’t find your info) then you will need to purchase an ACA Event Membership for each racer in your boat. In either case, whether you are a member or not, ACA waivers must be completed. Waivers will be provided at registration or you can download one below and complete it prior to arriving for race registration:
