2015 Downriver Nationals

[Jeff Owen]

The downriver nationals are coming to Maine - old news for some, new news for others. Registrations are being done through the website paddleguru.com. You need to make a free paddleguru account, and then search the massive list of races for the "Penobscot River Whitewater Nationals Regatta" listed by date on July 23rd. There are many events at the Regatta - open canoes, kayaks, SUPS, and wildwater boats, all racing different classes as well as both downriver and sprints. Consequently, the list of registrations options is very long and it would be useful to study the schedule of events on the Regatta's website (http://penobscotriverwhitewaternationalsregatta.com) before beginning the process of registering. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems registering or any other questions. And spread the word, please, to other MaCKRO members who may not be checking this forum regularly. We need a HUGE showing of local paddlers for this major event!!

Mark your calendars folks, the nationals are coming back for 2016. June 29 through July 3, with what will basically be the same format as this year - Wed will be the practice day. Thursday, Friday, and Sunday will be downriver racing. Saturday will rock the sprint course. Let's see if we can double the participation!!

I'm pretty sure the new and correct date is July 6 - 10, as stated on the Nationals website:
