Come
join us for the 5th Canadian National Outrigger sprint regatta.
Paddlers from BC, Alberta, and Ontario are hoping to attend. Saturday
April 26 – 2014. Pre-registration is necessary as we expect a full
roster for the day. We are offering (OC1) races as well as (OC6) – 500
and 1000 meter (1 turn). Rio Time Trials will be V1 only on Sunday
April 27th. No OC1 time trials are required as crews are set as
pre-determined only. No National crew selection this time.
Your registration fee will allow you to race two age categories. If
you choose to race OC1 only the fee is reduced, but you are able to race
your age category and down. All proceeds for the day will be used to
support Team Canada at future World Sprints. Come out, have some fun
and support Canadian outrigger sprints!
All participants must be CORA members. A day fee of $10 can be paid
the day of racing along with OC6 and OC1 registration payment.
