Canton Canoe Weekend

[Jeff Owen]

The Canton Canoe Weekend was this past weekend in Canton, NY (8.5 hours from Bangor). It's worth the trip if you've never been there, with short family-style and relay recreational races both days, as well as the C-1 and C-2 marathon races. These featured marathon races take place on a very entertaining 12-mile (amateur) and 14-mile (pro) course that includes both up and down stream work, buoy turns, and some tighter turns than even the Passy offers. C-1 on Saturday afternoon and C-2 on Sunday morning. The competition is intense but very friendly. Results are available at:
