The competition kicks off Saturday morning with a two-person team race, featuring a challenging 10-mile course from the Rockford dam upstream to Friske Road and back. Sunday wraps up with the solo race.
Registration is still open, and the Michigan Canoe Racing Association expects paddlers from across the region to compete in what organizers hope will become an annual tradition.
If you want to like to watch the competition, racing begins at 10 am both days just north of the dam.
