The 5 Miler
The 5 Mile race is open to everything that can float. We encourage
folks to participate and we have created a classification system to
suit all levels of paddler. See the information below.
5 Mile Course Description
Mass start from the Mayville Pavilion at the sound
of a large gun (or perhaps hammer, if Errol loads duds again this
year). Head upstream passing the golf course and bridge until reaching
"Elvis Island" (2.5 miles). Turn around "Elvis Island"
counterclockwise and come back to finish at the pavilion. The
finish line will be downstream between two buoys placed even with the
covered band shelter at the Pavilion. Water depth varies from 1-6 ft
deep. The current is negligible and the course has no weeds. All known
underwater obstacles are cleverly identified with the names of those
who have hit them!
