Vernon Freshwater Challenge OC6 Change Race, Sunday, June 30, 2024

Erik Ages Leave a comment

The Freshwater Challenge in Vernon, BC is quickly approaching (June 30th)!
As of June 21st, there are still 5 spaces open!
Join Kelowna Paddle Centre, Sudden Impact and Vernon Paddling Centre crews in this beach or water change-out race.

More information is contained in the attached poster, but it is an 8 x 5km lap relay race alternating men and women’s teams. All changes are at the same location and the change area has been set up so that either water or beach changes are possible, though water changes will be slightly advantageous. Spec boats will be started prior to the unlimited boats and the first of either to cross the finish line will win.

If you are planning to put together a team, but have not yet registered, or would like to but might be a few crew members short, or if you have any questions, please contact Marcus Boyle at 2019okl@gmail.com or 250 307 3263.
