Race the Red has been postponed to our back up date of July 17. There are three flag races so you can choose your distance between 1.5, 3.5, or 6 miles. Participants will paddle up river to a designated turnaround point, grab a prize (this year a phone dry bag), and return down river to the finish. All races begin and end at the south boat ramp at Dike East. Early bird fee is $20/person. A limited number of canoes, single kayaks, and tandem kayaks are available to rent for $15.
