Event Details
Racers will be body marked instead of race numbers. We will have body marking at pack pickup the morning of the race. Race numbers need to be at least 3” on the right side of your body. We will need to mark your body below your race shirt or shorts. It’s imperative that the timers see your race number when you finish.
Racers will be allowed in the water to warm up by TBD, immediately following national anthem.
Launch: Racers will launch on and off boards from the sloped concrete "beach" (not the dock) on the east side of the river. You will paddle up river (away from bridge columns) to await your air horn start behind the start line. We will have volunteers along the dock to help you safely come off the water. The volunteers can carry your board to the staging area if you need help.
Launch Point Cautions: The concrete at the start/finish can be pretty hard on our boards. We'll have volunteers to help if you like. Due to the fact we have a current at the dock/finish line; all racers will exit the water at the end of their race.
STAGING:
All racers will stage their boards in the grassy tiered lawn area. Look for signage. Racers are encouraged to bring SUP bags or other protection to go under your SUP when not racing.
TIMING:
TBD
SPECTATORS:
There are three ideal spots to view the race: Along the East Bank Landing Park, from the Cumberland River Compact River Center, or from the top of the Pedestrian Bridge.
PETS:
Pets are allowed on leash (not to exceed 6’). Pets are not permitted inside the Cumberland River Compact River Center or at the after party.
RESTROOMS:
Available on the first floor of the Bridge Building.
RAINOUT SCHEDULE:
Should we experience rain during the race…prepare to get wet! If we have widespread storms, we will not go on the water until storms have safely passed and we are cleared from the Coast Guard.
