MUSKOKA RIVER X COUREUR des BOIS
July 15 th is our Go/No-Go Date to reach 15 teams.   If the Coureur des Bois is on your bucket list, we encourage you to register before July 15 th to keep this event on the schedule.  For those who do register, if we unfortunately need to cancel we will move your registration to the Classic and refund the difference.

2020 MUSKOKA RIVER X
River X Racing is currently working on an exciting project for 2020!   We cannot disclose the details; however we are building on the successes of the current MRX concept and course. We are digging deeper into our roots, and our vision of the MRX continues to mature. Our mission for 2020 is the rebirth of the Muskoka River X, singularly focused on bringing YOU a once in a lifetime paddling adventure. If the permitting process is successful we will not host the Muskoka River X events in 2020 as we now know them ( Sprint; Classic; Coureur des Bois ). This year, 2019, may be the final season to paddle them.  We are hoping that our 2020 calendar will be confirmed for an announcement at the MRX awards banquet in September and that YOU will be there.

H2O SLINGSHOT 222

H2O C2 PRO
Sleek lines, concave hull, low profile and blistering speed. Jeff Hill at H2O not only builds fast boats, he builds them to take the abuse of expedition racing. Racing C2 Marathon this year? Talk to Jeff.
H2O SLINGSHOT 202
Following in the footsteps of it's bigger sibling, the 202 is a perfect balance for speed and stability when racing in a C1 expedition or stock. Made right here in Ontario by Jeff Hill at H2O. Racing solo this year? Buy a Slingshot.

SALUS LIFE JACKETS
In our humble opinion, the best jackets on the market. How do we know? River X Mike's Gjoa is 18 yrs old and still going strong! Available at Algonquin Outfitters.
