The event’s unique selection of race formats will challenge recreational and competitive teams alike: A “pentathlon” format: a cumulative weekend of racing: 500m, 200m, 100m, our famous flag relay, and a show-stopper guts and glory followed by a final 500 for the top 3 finishing women’s and mixed teams.
