13 Mile Course Description

Mass start from the Mayville Pavilion. Head downstream approximately 1/3 mile and turn counterclockwise 180 degrees and head back upstream to the start line. Continue upstream passing the golf course and bridge until reaching "Bad Buoy" (2.5 miles). Turn around "Bad Buoy" counterclockwise and come back past the pavilion to the dam. Portage the dam while waving to Sally from the Mayville News (200 yards) and put in behind the EMS building and continue downstream 1 mile to the lower dam. At the lower dam turn counterclockwise around one buoy and come back upstream. Portage the dam, wave to Sally again and then paddle the upper loop around "Bad Buoy" again. The finish will be downstream between two buoys placed even with the covered band shelter at the Pavilion. Winning race time will be under 2 hours. Water depth varies from 1-6 ft deep. The current is negligible and the course has very few weeds. All known underwater obstacles are cleverly identified with the names of those who have hit them!
