Title: FCRCC March Madness OC6 Race
Post by: glowing_ice on January 27, 2011, 04:32:35 PM
Dear Paddlers/Teams,
 
We would like to invite you for a day of both fun and competitive OC-6 races at the third annual March Madness OC-6 Regatta, which will be held in Vancouver on March 5, 2011. Please remember you may race twice, once in the morning Men's and Women's heats, and again in the afternoon Mixed heats.  We supply the boats.
 
We encourage out of town teams to come and race, as we will run your heats later in the morning to allow time for travel.
 
By popular demand we will be adding a Novice Division for 2011. And, as in past years, experienced steers persons are available to steer your crews around the 5km course.

You will find all the details for this race in the attached registration form. Only the registration needs to be filled out, and either e-mailed or faxed at this time to secure your spot, but signed waivers, and CORA membership, must be submitted on race day.
 
Please register early as this race fills up quickly.
 
Let us know if you have any questions,
 
FCRCC Outrigger
