Race Packet Pickup

New this year: Renting from River Forest Campground or Rick Klade? You can skip inspection—just find your boat number at the large start-time display by the boat inspection area.

Heads up:

• No late pickups—make sure you grab your packet on time.

• Only racers can pick up their own packets.

• Packets are available until Friday night at 9 PM.

• Start times will be posted by the boat inspection check-in on Friday night.

Get your gear, know your start, and get ready to hit the water like a true Wolfie!
