Fortunately, it just so happens that Rawdon Festival took place just 2 weeks after the Challenge! After some last minute Facebook postings, our captains wrangled a boatful of our most dedicated paddlers up north, blasted their way past the finish line and into a 3rd place finish in Final A division. Another ‘tick’ to our medal tally.

So in anticipation for this weekend’s big event, the Montreal Challenge, here’s a promo that our computer wiz, Ed whipped up. Nothing gets us pumped like nostalgia clips.

We’ve been coming to this race every year since 2008, and it never disappoints. And this year is no different. With another blend of fresh and familiar faces, our ambition was to make a podium finish in every event we raced. Great start so far with BananaShip taking home the Bronze for the second time in a row.
