Location

East Fork State Park -- One of Ohio�s largest state parks, East Fork has over 2100 acres of water and 85 miles of trails. We are very excited about the choices East Fork gives us for the layout of these races.

The start location within the park will be announced at a later date once the course is finalized. There will be one centralized start/finish/transition area that will accommodate both races.

 

Boats

Each team is required to supply all their own gear including boats. We are working with a livery to get racers a discount rental of canoe/kayak, pfds, and paddles. Once these plans have been finalized we will post that information on this website and send it to the team captains.
