More Details

This is the first of a 5-6 part race series for kayaks and canoes here in North Texas. We hope to be able to raise the profile of paddlesports racing and make Fort Worth a first tier venue while including options for everyone at every level.

This entire series will be focusing on everyone being able to race everyone. It does not matter what type of paddle craft you are bringing. You will be racing against the clock. At the end the "handicap" times will add to some of the faster boats and take away from some of the slower boats. So when registering you will need to know a little about your boat = length , width and possibly weight.
This will be a short 4 mile loop. The launch site is flat and easy to get in. Sandy and easy on the boats. It is skeg/ OC friendly. No frills as in no shirts, food or trophies. Maybe a small goodie bag if sponsors come through. $10.00 per person.
Registration is only at Webscorer. You MUST use the link below to register. We hope to have on site registration that morning but best not to count on it.
