Harvie Passage Race Recap

Alberta Cup #4

What an awesome day of racing! Thank you to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for allowing us to put up the gates. Thanks to our Event sponsor Undercurrents and Team Sponsor TECK for their support this season. Thank you to Calgary Police Services for being around for community liaison and education. Thank you to the Parents and Volunteers who create the atmosphere and support to enable us all to race on the river.

With over 35 competitors in Slalom Canoe and Kayaks & Open Canoes it was a great mix of people. The shores were filled with scores of spectators and weather was a perfect fall day. With only a couple of swims, the competitors showed their skills on the technical course. Congratulations to all the paddlers for an exciting race and for being race pioneers on the new Harvie Passage!

Here's to many more races at the new venue!
