Course Description: This event will begin in Chillicothe with a short run to locate your boats at Yocatangee Park. Then everyone's off to a 15 mile scenic paddle on The Scioto River. The conclusion of the paddle will take racers into Scioto Trail Forest for a nice trek. After completing the trek racers will enjoy a nice and long peddle on single track and fire roads. There will be two required "O" sections while on the peddle section. Once completed with all that racers will enjoy a short ROGAINE and climb over the Race-COAR cargo net to the finish line. We will place 30 CP's on this 12 hour course for everyone to locate, CP's must be punched in order except for the ROGAINE section. This course is approximately 45 miles depending on route choices.

ReplyDeleteThe check is in the mail, as they say. Hope my bruised ribs (bad crash on the mtb course at The Games) are feeling better by race day.
