Try to arrive between 1 and 1:30 at the latest at the Elkton landing. We will row off at 2pm and will need time to turn
in money, sign liability forms, and get our canoe instructions and river tips from Massanutten River Adventures. We will have
bottled water to take with you at the beginning of the trip. If you want a cooler of your own beverages, feel free to bring
them, but be sure to secure to canoe in case you tip. We will have food at the end of the race once awards ceremony is complete.
We will carpool people over to pick up their vehicles after we eat. If you are coming in more than one vehicle, it’s
a good idea to get there early and drop one car off at the ending so you won’t have to wait to get carpooled. Any questions
before the race, let me know!!! If you need directions from somewhere else in Virginia, please contact me and I will get them
to you.
