Island Iron 2012
The Ocean River Paddling Club is please to announce the 2012 Island Iron OC6 (Saturday June 9th) and Small Boat event (June 10th). The information and registration package details the race course, race times, etc. There is one important deadline for two items. I need to know by May 27th if there is sufficient commitment from crews to do the short course event. This is an approximately 7km race. The event needs to run early so off-island crews must plan carefully. If there is insufficient interest to run this heat, it will be cancelled. Also by May 27th, I need to have committed registration for crews that are an age-class other than open. CORA rules require 3 boats to make a class. To ensure the planning of awards, I need to know if there are masters and senior masters division. CORA points will still be awarded as per age classes regardless of racing divison.
The small boat event will also take place at Cadboro Bay. It will be a mass start event with registration opening at 8:30 and the race commencing at 9:30. It will be a 10km race course. Preregistration is accepted
Rosters and waivers can be emailed to ORPC(at)shaw(dot)ca. Rosters in advance are greatly appreciated and completed waivers must be handed in a paddler check-in. All racers must be members of CORA or pay a day fee membership. Forms can be found at www.canadianoutrigger.com, under the Resources/Forms section.
A Paddlers Guide to Island Iron will be available shortly. Please watch this site and also the CORA forum for more details.
