This is a two-day race clinic for the California River Quest.  Racers may sign up for either day or both.  Note:  Each day of the clinic is limited to 12 participants total.

April 16 – Intro to Moving Water (Redding)
On the first day of the clinic, we will learn about moving water and rapids - the biggest and most fun challenge of the CRQ (besides the distance, of course).

The morning features a mix of on-land and water-based theory and practice.  After lunch, we will set a shuttle and then paddle the first ~5 miles of the CRQ course, which contain some of the most exciting rapids.  

Course may change, since the flow rate is somewhat variable this time of year.  

April 17 – Start to Checkpoint 1 - Approx. 22 miles
On the second day of the clinic, you practice what you have learned and paddle a long section of either upper portion of the river.  Those who have previous moving water experience but did not participate in Day 1 are welcome to join us as well.

The plan is to paddle from the race start (Redding) to Rooster's Landing/Balls Ferry, which is about 22 miles.
