NEW FOR 2018: Muskoka River X Voyageur Class
As the
Europeans expanded throughout Canada,
Voyageurs
worked as an organized, licensed long-distance transportation system for the delivery of furs and other trade goods into the interior of the continent. Their strength and endurance was legendary. It was expected that each could work at least 14 hours a day, paddle 55 strokes per minute and be able to carry two bundles across each portage, each weighing about 90 lbs. A routine portage meant carrying 180 pounds across rugged terrain full of rocks, mud, mosquitoes and black flies. In 2018, River X Racing gives tribute to these legends with the
VOYAGEUR CLASS
.
Are you strong enough to be a Voyageur?

NEW FOR 2018: Muskoka River X C2 Marathon
Standing out from the crowd, a C2 marathon canoe distinguishes itself with sleek lines, concave hull, low profile and blistering speed. A standard in most races, C2 Marathon has historically been kept on the shore as its more robust sibling, the C2 Stock, has dominated the Muskoka River X course. For 2018, we are opening up the MRX to these lean, mean, racing machines. We are excited to see how they will stand up to the course should Mother Nature get moody...and to see if the current course record can be toppled. If you are an experienced C2 marathon paddler and want to challenge yourself against one of the toughest courses around,
here's your chance

NEW FOR 2018: Muskoka River X will run in REVERSE
Been There? Done That? Looking for a new challenge? The boys at River X have put the MRX course into the shaker and it came out...in REVERSE! Same rivers, same lakes and same portages means new course and new challenges. The path that you follow never looks the same when you turn around. The same is turn for a river. What was down-river is now up. The current you floated on for a rest will now force you to dig deep. And if you think Mary Lake at night was interesting, wait until you experience Lake of Bays. Teams will start their journey just outside of Huntsville at Hidden Valley Resort, make their way to River Mill park, saying "
Hi
" to the spectator, and continue on their expedition. With check points at Port Sydney, Bracebridge, and Baysville, teams will finish back at Hidden Valley. A few km shorter for the Sprint and few km longer for the Classic, old becomes new and brings a fresh new race. Just like in the days of rock'n roll albums, we're flipping the vinyl and playing the best kept secret. Race the
B-SIDE
of the Muskoka River X.
