On March 30th the 50th Annual Credit River Slalom Race takes place in Streetsville, Ontario which is near Mississauga. The Credit is the second oldest whitewater race in North America and has been a long and very important part of Ontario paddling history.
Jeff McColl has been organizing this race for a number of years and has said this will be his last. Members of the Ottawa River Runners are invited to take part in this historic race and show our support for Jeff and the race organizers who are looking to make this a very special event.
The race is set on a relatively easy stretch of whitewater comprised of class I waves. It is an great experience for those who are just beginning their racing careers and a lot of fun for every participant which often includes National Team members.
A downriver race is scheduled for Saturday, March 29th. Watch for further details.
