AGAIN THIS YEAR ! Our race participant item is being upgraded from cotton to a tech shirt. Because this comes with an additional cost and other increased costs we've decided to make it an add-on. This means, you can register for the race for the same low price (free for Sub5 members) but if you want the shirt it is an additional $12. Details are in the registration. Course Records: Riley Masters 8:02 (2011), Ruth White 9:26 (2023) Thank you to our race sponsors Dead River Company , Downeast Mobile Power Wash , and Premier Rehab .
