  We, the above entrants, fully understand that our personal safety and that of our equipment is the sole responsibility of ourselves.  Any loss or damage to our person or equipment, regardless of the circumstances involved, is to be considered our problem.  I have received and read the official rules and do agree to abide by them.  (Parent’s signature required for entrants under 18 years of age.)

“OFFICIAL RULES”

1. All entrants must wear life jackets.  Only U. S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets will be accepted.  (Must be over-the-shoulder type.)  Failure to comply will result in disqualification.
2. Official judges reserve the right to make all final decisions regarding this race or parts thereof.
3. At portage areas, only entrants may carry canoes and kayaks.
4. All canoes must have 6’ grab lines bow and stern, and kayaks must have grab loops bow and stern.
5. All canoes and kayaks will be checked for the above rules; if regulations are not met, the entrants will not be accepted.
6. All entrants must run the river portion of the race course.  For safety reasons, no more than two persons are allowed per canoe.

 
CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY:  Please inspect your canoe or kayak and remove any tag-along plants, animals, and algae before launching.  

CAUTION:  River may not have enough water in it prior to dam release on race date. 

                               Use discretion concerning practice runs.

Race Course Description:  The race course will start from Allen Albee Beach on Route 28.  The course will be from the beach directly across Lake Wentworth to Smith River, down the length of Crescent Lake to portage at the dam (portage on the right), down another section of Smith River (fast water), a portage in Wolfeboro Falls and then into Back Bay and to the finish at the Town Docks on Lake Winnipesaukee.  The approximate length of the race is four miles.

Due to increasing parking pressure at the beach area, no cars without canoes will be permitted to enter the Moose Point Road after noon.  The road will be completely closed to all non-emergency vehicles from 12:45 p.m. on when registration closes.  Please help and comply with Lions Club members who are in charge of parking.
