COURSE MAP
*NOTES FOR BOTH SHORT AND LONG COURSES:
- The race course will NOT be closed to boat traffic. Please be aware and courteous.
- Use EXTREME CAUTION in urning around course marker buoys given anticipated high river current. Anticipate, plan in advance, and prepare for a strong current coming form the top of the course. Be courteous to other racers in your buoy approach given the high current.
- Use of headphones is strongly discouraged as that prohibits your ability to safely hear oncoming traffic and other racers.
- A USGS approved PFD is required to race (on person, or on vessel).
- Leashes are recommended for safety particularly in the event of wind, but please be aware that paddling close to shore/debris with a leash presents potential hazard and risk to racers. Be proficient in leash access and release. THIS IS PARTICULARLY RELEVANT given that on race day anticipated river flow will be 40-50k cfs.
