Yes, you read that right…

Presented by Comox Valley Canoe Racing Club, this year’s event promises to be bigger, better and more engaging, both on and off the water, than ever before.
We’ve decided to take the race to THE COMOX LAKE… which offers incredible mountain views, crystal clear freshwater and conditions where the winds can whip up and create an upwind challenge one way and a great ride down in the opposite direction.Friday we’ve added some fun jr racing options – check out the website for those!

- SATURDAY Sept 27
- Big boats – multiple categories – plus dinner/awards/music-dancing

An onsite facility offers a place to gather, socialize and watch the starts and finishes and the opportunity to engage with fellow paddlers. This is where we will host the dinner on Saturday night! And camp sites keep us all together for a true Ohana experience.
As the race site is a fair distance from town, (see maps and photos on our website) we will be hosting a dinner on Saturday (included in your fees), which will be followed by music to keep you groovin ‘until at least 10pm!
As mentioned, onsite camping is available (These sites are not usually offered to the general public) of which there are a couple of good “group” sites. This is an extra cost (cheap!) so be sure you register early -as this is where you indicate you’d like a camping spot. These requests will be dealt with separately, outside the registration process and on a first come first serve basis. Payment for the camping will be via etransfer to the club to secure your spot.
The boat ramp, beach access and ample parking make this an ideal location to set up and store your boats. We are finalizing the fees which will be available by early August but wish to let you know now that ferries MUST be booked asap (Horseshoe Bay route in particular will be busy) so book your reservation TODAY and sort out the other details along the way.
We are super pumped to be taking this event to the lake and hope you are as well. A change of location, new offerings and the promise of exciting racing all make this a definite “must do” for all canoe clubs involved in outrigger racing in Canada.
Elbows up folks.. or was that “paddles up!”…
