Des Plaines River
Canoe & Kayak Marathon
Save the Date
May 23, 2021
Fingers crossed
Well, we're planning to hold the Marathon this year, modified to take into account the COVID pandemic and using appropriate precautions to maximize everyone's safety, and still let us all have a great day on the river.
Check this space as the plans evolve. Here are some of the key details so far:
• Registration will open midnight March 31 and close midnight May 8.
• Link to online registration (or download a mail-in registration form & waiver) through this website.
• No same-day registration on race day this year!
• Extra shuttle buses will be available.
• All of us will wear masks and social distance while on land.
• No standing in line to check in at the start line: participants will pick up their boat numbers and get on the river as quickly as practicable. Minimal socializing!
• This is a timed race with awards. All results will be posted on line.
