WETDASHE Dry Change Race (3k Sprint Loops): 16/17 NOVEMBER. Registration now open. All boats supplied: spec for 12/24k & Ulights for 48k

Welcome to Wetdashe 2024, a “DRY” CHANGE RACE, which means 6-person crews hotswap on the dock with their team mates at the end of each 3km sprint lap. Dock-change times are included in your team’s aggregate time, so efficient changes get the best results.

NEW: BC Wetdashe teams raised $11,400 for the BC Cancer Foundation.
RACE RESULTS: CLICK HERE to download results or visit www.wetdashe.com

Boats: Both Spec & Ultralight options are available: spec boats supplied for 12 & 24km distances; ultralights supplied for 48km distances.

Race Distances: Three distances to choose from: 12km (4-Lap Short Course) or 24km (8-Lap) or 48km – 16 lap (running concurrently based on advance crew registrations for one of these three distances).

Race Categories: Classic women’s and/or mixed (no less than three women must be in the canoe at any one time); or exhibition crews (e.g. all-male crews or crews with over-quota males) can register and race along with mixed crews with results logged in the “exhibition” category.

Race fees come with souvenir race shirts (ordered in advance in preferred sizes) and plenty of prizes and awards. Early-registering teams will have the best chances to choose the mornings or afternoons of their choice (Saturday tends to sell out quickly).

Want to increase your chance of a podium finish? Raise money for men’s health through FGPC’s “Make Every Second Count” campaign, a team-based fundraiser that contributes tax-deductible donations through the BC Cancer Foundation.

Vernon Freshwater Challenge OC6 Change Race, Sunday, June 30, 2024

The Freshwater Challenge in Vernon, BC is quickly approaching (June 30th)!
As of June 21st, there are still 5 spaces open!
Join Kelowna Paddle Centre, Sudden Impact and Vernon Paddling Centre crews in this beach or water change-out race.

More information is contained in the attached poster, but it is an 8 x 5km lap relay race alternating men and women’s teams. All changes are at the same location and the change area has been set up so that either water or beach changes are possible, though water changes will be slightly advantageous. Spec boats will be started prior to the unlimited boats and the first of either to cross the finish line will win.

If you are planning to put together a team, but have not yet registered, or would like to but might be a few crew members short, or if you have any questions, please contact Marcus Boyle at 2019okl@gmail.com or 250 307 3263.
