Contenders have completed at least 2 of the 4 CORA Cup races to date. Completion of CORA Nationals with the highest number of points in the applicable age and gender division would secure the CORA Cup. “n/a” on the chart means the crew has not registered for Nationals, based on the Webscorer confirmation list as 12noon Sept 17th.

The 4 Arm Fiasco Race is a new race taking place in Port Alberni, BC on Sproat Lake (Voted the BEST lake in BC). The race weekend is designed so that racers can race 1, 2, 3 or all 4 courses. There will be an award for ‘overall champion’ (fastest time for all courses combined in each category). There is a 20% discount applied to race fees if you register for the whole series. If a team (OC6/OC2) is competing for the overall champion title the same paddlers must race all courses.
The race is hosted by the Sproat Lake Canoe Club. You can follow us on FB and Instagram @4armfiasco for race updates.
