CLASS III

erik — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 05:15:00 +0000

The start of the whitewater race will be at the Salmon and Sandy River confluence. Paddlers will race the 8 miles of class II-III (IV) whitewater including Alder Creek rapid (class III-IV). The finish line at the former Marmot Damsite. The last mile of the race winds through a section of river that was reservoir for 80 years prior to 2007.

Paddlers

can race in a one-person kayak, or an R2 raft race. All paddlers must have helmet, PFD, and wet suit/dry suit with proper footwear. At least one of the paddlers must have been down this river section once, or petition the organizer with documented class IV/V paddling skills.

We will have safety and hydration stations at each transition, and we will have an ambulance on site. Our whitewater rescue crew will be staged at the critical sites along the whitewater race course. All racers are expected to stop and help a fellow racer in distress. We will have water and clif bars available for racers on site, and entry will include a yummy post race lunch. Camping & music will be available on site Saturday night at the Marmot Damsite.

A HUGE Thank You to GoPro

We are hard at work putting together edits from all of the GoPro cameras that we mounted during the course of the

two days. We simply couldn't document this

even without the generous donations from

the team over at GoPro.

Thanks to everybody who came out for the 2012 Showdown!
