Description
The 2020 Remington I is a 10.5 mile downstream race on the Oswegatchie River from Heuvelton to Ogdensburg, N.Y. The course is flatwater, however there are two portages*, one around the Eel Weir Dam at the six mile mark, and the final portage around the Ogdensburg Dam. The finish line will be at Smugglers Cafe Boat Launch.
This is NOT a Seaway Festival event in 2020, but will return as a Seaway Sponsored event in 2021.
*The finish line may be moved upstream (race shortened) eliminating the final portage due to water level concerns on race day.
Race Details: Preregistration is required and will be limited to 50 Paddlers! You must also download, print and sign a liability waiverhttps://8bdce5ef-bba3-4ac8-8e96-78d2f609ef87.filesusr.com/ugd/026337_e81271d1278249348872603f590e5482.pdf and bring it with you on race day!
