Title: Long Distance Races? Post by: sandyttfn on January 05, 2010, 03:37:26 PM Hello All,
A crew of us are looking for a new distance challenge in 2010. We did the Peru race in '08 and missed the longer training sessions last year. We're ready to gear up, but need some suggestions. Does anyone know of any long distance races? I'm looking for multi-day, 100 mile plus races. We'll worry about equipment once we choose the race, so raft, db, OC, canoe. If it allows paddle powered entrants, we will consider it. Thanks, Sandy Title: Re: Long Distance Races?

I think they have it planned for the weekend of Sept 18th this year. If you have never been to Penticton, it's a great town to visit with a lot of nice wineries in the vicinity! http://www.pentictonoutrigger.com/ Title: Re: Long Distance Races?
