The novice team and the varsity athletes that don’t travel to the George Washington Invitational will race local colleges St. Thomas and Macalester. The race course will depend on river conditions, but will likely run upstream from MRC to end near the E. Franklin Ave bridge.
UPDATE
Start-line willbe the railroad bridge - 500m up river from MRC.
We will race through the Franklin Bridge, 94 Bridges, and finish 30 strokes upstream of past the 94 bridge. Exactly where the river walkway railing begins. There's a large concrete slab at river's edge with grafitti.
Spectators and parents can stand on the walk and view the finish-line easily and up close.
Start time is 8:30AM for the 8s race. Fours start time to be determined
