Start training for July 20th!
Paddle Soap Lake
Paddle across Soap Lake on 5 separate legs of the course that are named after the 5 lakes of the Great Canoe Race. Park, Blue, Alkali, Lenore, and Soap. Checkpoints at the end of each leg will have volunteers providing water, snacks, and direction to the next checkpoint. Don't forget to pick up a trivia token to earn some time discounts if correct!

Portage through Town
The 1 mile portage will be on paved streets though the City of Soap Lake. No wheels allowed, but portage runners may be signed-up during registration putting your team in the Relay Class.
The Portage begins at West Beach, goes south on Ash Street, turns right onto Main Street, turns right again on Fir Street, which becomes Lakeshore drive with a gentle turn to the left, then finishes at the end of Juniper Street, where the final paddle leg of the competition begins! Don't worry, we'll have cones to mark your path so no need to memorize all of that :) |
Checkpoint Trivia
Each of the five checkpoints along the course will not only keep track of your time, but will have trivia about the Great Canoe Race. Choose the correct answer token and find yourself minutes ahead of the competition.
