Fifth Annual Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race

On Sunday September 25, 2011 Brookfield Park and Recreation, The Housatonic Valley River Trail, The Connecticut Water Trails Association, The Housatonic Valley Paddle Club, and The Still River Alliance will be sponsoring the Fifth Annual Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race to Benefit the Still River. This is the largest flatwater race in Western Connecticut.

This race was established to help raise monies to continue the environmental stewardship work and help to pay for maintaining the Still River since all funding at the local, state, and federal level has been eliminated.

Flatwater Canoe and Kayak racing is a contest of speed, strength and endurance in which participants compete head to head on calm bodies of water.

There are Canoe and 14 Kayak Racing Divisions which run a one mile long race course.

There is also a 2 mile Ironman Race for each of the 14 divisions.  

This year we've also added a tandem canoe business division - for $30 we'll supply the canoe, paddles, and pfd's for two paddlers representing a business

If you don’t have a canoe or kayak – don’t miss out – we can get you one to use.

The cost to race is $10

The last date to register is September 20, 2011
