Longer Paddle
Al Rudquist and I plan on doing a 5 to 6 hour paddle the day after the Blackwater Barge Canoe race. I’m letting you know now so plan on sticking around on Sunday for the paddle. We would like for everyone to join us. We have gone on the Mississppi River upstream of Grand Rapids before.

Al wants you to let him know if you are going to “play” by June 30th. They need to know how much food to buy. Sign up now and pay later when you see Al. Phone: 218.326.5735
This is a fun race where you get to paddle with all the other paddlers. This is a chance to paddle with someone you’ve possibly never paddled with before.
Hope to see everyone there! I believe Al plans to limit the number of entries to 32. Remember to let him know by June 30th , please!
NOTE: Disregard the August dates for this race on Minnesota Canoe Racers and exploreminnesota.com. They both have the wrong date.
