This September the Red River Paddle Challenge celebrates it’s fifth year! This year we will be offering two races for paddlers to choose from each with a different distance!
Red River Paddle Challenge
The Red River Paddle Challenge (RRPC) is a 44 kilometer (~27 miles) long distance paddling race on the Red River beginning in Winnipeg, Manitoba and ending down river in Lockport, Manitoba.
Red River 100
The Red River 100 (RR100) is a 100 kilometer (~62 miles) ultra distance paddling race on the Red River beginning in Ste Agathe, Manitoba and ending down river in Lockport, Manitoba. The RR100 is a two-day staged race where participants paddle from Ste Agathe to St Vital Park in Winnipeg on day one and then on day two participants join in with the Red River Paddle Challenge paddlers and paddle to Lockport.
RR100 participants are ranked within the RR100 (combined time from both days) and also the RRPC, so essentially competing in two races over the weekend! Prizes are awarded for both races.
