Saskatoon Rec & Rookie Race - September 6th 2014
Saskatoon Saskatchewan
The Rec & Rookie series of races all started at the boathouse in Saskatoon with a paddle stroke clinic for all provided by Trevor Robinson. Then paddlers in Tripping Canoes, Racing Shells and Kayaks all participated in a series of four fun races all paddling together. The first event was a Flag Relay in which pairs of teams took turns heading out across the river to plant a flag, and then retrieve the flag. The second event was a Portage race which took paddlers downstream for a buoy turn, then back to the dock for a 'portage/carry' around the boathouse followed by another short buoy turn lap. The third race was a mass sprint (about 500m) downstream, and the fourth and final race was a 'mini marathon' in which paddlers paddled upstream around the pier island of the South Bridge, and then back downstream to the dock.
Post race events included a fabulous lunch, draw prizes for everyone who participated and a boat dedication to honour one of our Saskatoon Canoe Club members and volunteers. It was a fantastic day of paddling, perfect weather, a great group of people and really fun and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks goes out to event organizers and volunteers for their work to make this event a success!
Big thanks to our sponsors: Eb's Source for Adventure, The Bike Doctor and Brainsport for their support for this event. Be sure to check them out for great advice and equipment!
