MUSKOKA RIVER X - 2022 REVIEW

Two weeks ago teams marshalled on the beach at Hidden Valley Resort to participate in the 2022 Algonquin Outfitters Huntsville 110. With our pursuit starts, teams began at various internals based on established benchmark times. The end was an inspiring race that determined the winner of each watercraft type, category, and overall first to the finish. The margins were very tight, especially between C1 female vs. C1 male vs. C2 REC Coed. We are honoured to have witnessed inspiring performances by amazing athletes. We celebrate all paddlers for their achievements.

2023 will mark 10 years of Expedition Paddle Sport Racing

THE CLASSIC IS BACK

September 15-17^th, 2023

We hope you enjoy the rest of your paddling season.
