Welcome to the 3rd Annual
Sunday, September 25th, 2011
Herrick's Cove, Rockingham Vermont
Part of NECKRA's point series
~ ~ ~
The
Connecticut River Paddle Battle is an end of the season event designed
to give everyone an opportunity to spend a day on the river and have
a good time. The serious racer will have a chance to unwind and spend
some fun time on the river with colleagues. The casual paddler can participate
in an open class race or help with the river clean up. Families are
welcome.
There will be a course set up and times will be kept,
but the main objective is fun. There will be prizes, activities, educational
opportunities, food, and music.
There will be a large tent so the event will take
place rain or shine. The water will still be warm. The foliage will
be reaching its’ peak. The migratory birds will be passing through
the area, so it is an ideal time to get out and enjoy it.
This year, we have partnered with NECKRA as part of their point series. We hope that this partnership will help keep the Paddle Battle thriving!
