Great Event! I’ll be there as a Safety Boat, and would love to get other LSYC boats to help out. We definitely need a couple boats to cover both the long and short courses, particularly since the rowers and paddlers get rather spread out from first to last.

• The Sound Rowers and Paddlers Lake Sammamish Race is being held on Saturday, May 30 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM. Starting from Sunset Beach at Lake Sammamish State Park, the race circles the southern half of the lake (short course) or the entire lake (long course). Rowers and paddlers from all over the Northwest will be participating, and everyone who is an experienced paddler or rower is invited to enter!

  The race is set up so the long course racers start at 10 AM, and the short course racers start at 11 AM. This enables competitors from both races to complete at roughly the same time and creates greater action at the finish line.

  There will be snacks and drinks available before the race, and soups and chili and other tasty items available after the race. Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers for each course, in each category. Results from previous races as well as photos can be found at the Sound Rowers web site.

  Distance: 6 miles short/13miles long
  Pre-race Meetings: 9:15 AM (long course), 10:15 AM (short course)

  In addition, if there are people who would be interested in volunteering as safety boat captains or crew, or assisting with the land portion of the event instead of racing or spectating, please contact me.

  Thank you!
