Check-in is available starting at 7:00AM on Saturday June 15. All racers should check in when they arrive.
NO REFUNDS and no rain date. In the event of inclement weather, entries will roll into next year's race, or you may defer to another FCR event.

We will need 8-10 Volunteers for Registration, Timing, and Kayaking. Interested in VOLUNTEERING? Email [email protected]
We will follow the USAT Wetsuit rule of 78o temperature threshold. Should the water temperature exceed 78o, anyone wearing a wetsuit will not be counted in the official results. Should the water temperature exceed 84o F, no wetsuits may be worn. We do not have historical water temperature data at this location, but we expect the water temperature to likely be above 70F in mid-June.
