The race course start is at the HOCR finish line with the finish at the middle sweep dock right in front of CRI. Race meeting at 8:30am, first boats launch at 8:35am with the first race set to begin at9am. Everyone is invited to participate - beginners, advanced, adaptive, veterans, tubbies, b-boats, singles, doubles, quads, even a few 4's or 8's. To enter you need to be in costume and bring something to eat or drink at the post race brunch and awards ceremony. There will be several race categories and lots of prizes including Best Costume, Most Awkward to Row In, and Most Creative as well as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in each race (with medals for all winners!!).
To sign up, email us your name, age and boat choice or a private boat at lyns@mindspring.com or jlangermann@mac.com
We also need volunteers before and after to set up and take down for the brunch, and during the race itself as times, launch drivers, and a few dock hands. Let us know at either of the emails above.
Thank you, Lynn and John
