Iron Course – This is the feature race of our event. It is long
enough to challenge the toughest crew and technical enough to challenge
the wisest of steerspeople. While our waves are not huge open ocean
monsters, the coastal B.C. conditions are extremely variable, renown
for their 5m tidal differences and associated currents, and the Straight
of Georgia can provide relentless waves. The circular course features
upwind and downwind paddling and incredible scenery.
This event is approximately 2.5 hrs, 17 miles/27.2 km and runs on Saturday.
Divisions: Mens, Womens , Open- Master and Sr Master. The Mixed division
(minimum 1 man, maximum 3 men) will run within the men's event.
Short Course – This race circumnavigates Keats Island. This is
a mixed event (max 3 men) w/ Junior, Open and 55+ categories. Race time
is approximately 70 minutes on a 8.7 mile/14 km course. This race runs
first thing Saturday morning. Water conditions in the early morning
are usually calm and the race course is a favorite for any team wishing
a shorter alternative to the iron course. Junior teams who have paddled
this course in prior years have registered times within our estimate,
and stand very well amongst our field of competitors. However, if the
Junior coaches from all participating teams wish for a modified/shorter
race course, a request must be addressed to the Race director one month
prior to the race day.
