It's time to pull that boat out and dust off your vest and paddle. Warmer weather is coming and so is the Arkansas River Canoe & Kayak Race. This fast 6.5 mile down river race is one of the most senic races in the country. The race starts at Little Rock's Murray Park, passes North Little Rock's Emerald Park cliffs on your left with the State Capital and downtown Little Rock on your right. You will paddle under 5 bridges and finish on the North Little Rock side at the Arkansas Boathouse Rowing club.
The great thing about this race is you can be a world class racer or just want to have some fun and take in the sights. Bring your friends and family see some of the fastest racers in the south and some of the slowest.
Awards will be given to the top 3 racers of each class.
Last year the was a huge success with Mike Herbert taking the top honors.
