Wacky Weeki Wachee Time Trials 2018

This is a “Prediction Time” race. The course is designed to start at one location and finish at another. There are no age, board or gender divisions. You simply guesstimate how much time it will take you to paddle 5.5 miles down current on the beautiful underground spring fed, 74 degree, crystal-clear fresh water of the Weeki Wachee River, one the most scenic waterways in Florida.
Go fast or go slow, but whoever finishes paddling closest to their predicted time is the winner! Average completion time of the course is around 90 minutes. During registration you will be asked to determine your predicted time. This field cannot be left blank. You will only have 1 chance to change your predicted time, at the Pre-Race Social packet pick up.
