Goat Boater Race Series #3 of 6 - The 10 K.

$300 Cash Awards for top overall male and female finishers!

Race 3: The (kind of technical) 10K.

We will start at Windjammer beach with a beach start out to the first monster bouy 50 yards off the shore for a right hand 90 degree turn.  From there you have a wide open main channel hike 2.5 miles up the lake where you will find the second monster bouy to make a 180 degree left turn around.  Half way back this is where the race starts to get more technical.  You will make a left hand turn into Boyds cove where you have a .7 K grind towards the back of the cove to find your next bouy to make a right hand 180 degree shoulder turn around making your way back out of the cove.  Make a left turn (following the shore line) back into the main channel.  Follow the shore line left to tuck on the inside of Windjammer island.  Make your way back out to the main channel one more time finding your starting 1st bouy.  You will be required to make a last left hand 90 degree turn around the starting buoy and make your way to the beach for a short running beach finish.   This makes for a fun and technical 2nd half of the 10K allowing for ample passing opportunities and strong finish.

Testimonial: "Full disclaimer- I am 62 this is only my second year of racing and I get severe pre race pre meeting new people jitters. I participated in the Goat Boater Race series 2021- Megan and Rob embrace the spirit of SUP- all who come are welcome - these values are also evident in their race team. There were so many different participants from elite athletes, to families tandem racing, to people new to the sport and/ or racing. It is fun- serious fun during the race- but fun. The racers cheer each other on - even to the last one coming in - I could feel the positive energy of the group. There is a social paddle after the race - a fun way to get to know each other - get tips- and try other equipment out. Megan and Rob are very knowledgable and can help you navigate the different board types if you are ready to move to a race board (or new race board), Race conditions are closely monitored, there are plenty of safety lookouts so those new to paddling in moving water can feel well protected. There is clear communication to participants which I appreciate pre race day and prior to the race start. If one is an experienced SUP racer or a novice there is a place for all in the Goat Boater Series."
