Millrace Massacre
The first race of the day will be the Millrace
Massacre which will commence at high noon. The length requirement for the race
is 8’6 and under, no exceptions. A set course will be shown to the
competitors the day of the race. The course will be water level dependant. It
will start at the top of Millrace and end in the vicinity of Fisherman’s Rock.
The course will be outlined with markers, showing all the required
eddies/routes the racers must go through. With this being a time trial event,
speed is going to be the name of the game. Top winner takes home the CASH.
Iceman Championships
The Iceman Championships is the race that separates
the men from the boyz. The Iceman is going to be a mass start race with all
the competitors starting in a line up. The race will start at the red pier and
will run through Millrace and down to the Zoo Bridge. Once to the Bridge racers will go around the bridge
and head back to the sandy beach where they are required to hike there boats
back up the portage trail. At the top the racers will reenter the water and
run Millrace again. It is then that the racers will abandon ship above the
Mosh Pit and swim with their kayaks back to the sandy beach. In the Iceman you
can paddle whatever boat you may like whether it is a traditional whitewater
kayak, sea kayak, cardboard box, bathtub, etc. The longer the better.
A potluck style party will commence after the race is
over. BBQ and Beer will be provided at the party for everyone. We encourage
everyone to bring a side dish to share. Directions to event location will
be available the day of the race.
Prizes will be awarded at the party for 1st,
2nd, and 3rd. Additional prizes may be handed out in a
competitor drawing during the party.
