Push back against the Fraser River freshet current in the 15th year of the FLCC River Run!  Fort Langley Canoe Club invites you to join us, at Fort Langley docks, for OC6 and small boat racing on Saturday and Sunday, June 20 and 21, respectively.

Our new short and long courses will pit you against the mighty Fraser River in freshet (flood) – it will challenge the paddlers and steersperson alike! You’ll share the battle against the currents with the sturgeon, salmon, seals and beaver, while bald eagles sail overhead, and, onshore, deer and the occasional black bear cheer you on.

• The OC6 short course is approx. 9 km and the OC6 long course is approx. 18 km..  
• OC6 race fee is $210 per adult crew and $90 for Keiki and Junior crews.

Once you’ve taken on the Fraser in the big boats on Saturday, haul out your small boat (OC1, OC2, V1, surfski, kayaks, K1 and K2, marathon canoes, SUPs, etc.) and race the river again on Sunday.

• The Small Boats course is approx. 10 km.  
• Small Boats race fee is $30 per adult and $10 for Keiki and Junior.

Hugh Fisher was oifficially recognized as the 2025 Hugh Town Builder Award Recipient at the 2025 CORA AGM. However, Hugh Fisher and MI6 were away at the Cook Islands Vaka Eiva event at the time.

CORA was able to coordinate a formal presentation as per the Hugh Town Memorial Builder Award Policy at the 2026 Jericho Iron Classic.

The CORA Awards Committee wishes to extend a round of appreciation to Jan Chavarie (2022 Hugh Town Builder Award Recipient) and Jericho Paddling Club for offering time on the 2026 Jericho Iron Classic agenda, to Don Mulhall (2021 Hugh Town Builder Award Recipient) for taking the time to have his hair coiffured and making the presentation of the Trophy to Hugh Fisher, to the MI6 crew for delaying their pre-race warmup so that the presentation could proceed with decorum, and to the attendees who sent in photos of the presentation. CORA wishes to thank Hugh Fisher for his lifetime of contributions to paddlesports and to congratulate him as the 2025 Hugh Town Builder Award Recipient.
