Whitewater Nationals on the Penobscot -- July 22 - 26, 2015

[Ray Wirth]

The ACA whitewater nationals (races for canoes, kayaks, and SUPs) will be held on the Penobscot River July 22 - 26, 2015. "The championship is expected to draw several hundred kayakers and canoeists from as far away as North Carolina and Michigan. They will compete in the sprint races or the 9-mile race in a variety of classes for youth, men, women and for co-ed teams. Given the accessibility of this stretch of river, the event also is expected to attract many more spectators than in past years because it’s in an urban setting." --PPH.
