Your per person entry fee covers pre-race meeting dinner, race day course, kayak rental, spot tracker rental, post-race food, swag and festivities. This is a USARA-sanctioned event, so all participants will be required to purchase either a 1-day USARA membership ($8) or an annual USARA membership ($35) and sign a USARA waiver. If you already have a current annual USARA membership that will cover the race period, please enter that number during registration.

We are offering a $50 discount for any racers who will be 25 or under on race day.
