Revised time:

  • Race at 2:00pm - single category

Race Basics:

  • Races can be done solo or in teams of two (families with small children can have as many as fit into the boat)
  • Each race will have a mass start
  • Each loop consists of off road cycling, paddling (canoe or single or double kayaks) and running/walking
  • All participants must provide their own bicycle and canoe/kayak(s). All participants must wear PFDs (lifejacket). A limited number of canoes and kayaks will be available for an additional fee of $50 (these must be booked by September 9).

The Course:

  • The race loop will include roughly a 3.7 km bike ride, 0.5 km paddle and 0.5 km walk/run.
  • Racers will begin on bicycle near the main lodge riding through a forest (along the Assinboine River) into a field with switchbacks and small hills. Arriving at the lake they will leave their bicycles at their designated spot, grab their boat(s) and embark on a paddle where they must retrieve items from floating pails. Upon returning to shore, participants will bike a short distance to the hiking/running portion of the race. Returning back to their bikes, racers will ride back towards the main lodge and repeat the loop.

Winners are determined by the amount of loops completed fastest within the prescribed time. The last lap for the Fun Race cannot begin after 2:00 PM, the last lap for the Competitive Race cannot begin after 4:30 PM.
