Its Back! The 45th Annual Canoe Race.
It doesn't sound like there will be a banquet this year, so we will be finished early.
Let me know if you are planning to attend (or click on the attend button)
I'm guessing 5-6 people required (more would allow relief at checkpoints).

During the final preparation for Run Off the Grid this year, the organizers have determined that they need to limit
not only participants but volunteers on site.
As a result they have asked us to limit our participation to 5 volunteers this year.
The first five people to respond are:
Paul, VA3PC
Wanda VE3KOJ
Drew, VE3MAF
Lori, VE3LOR
Dave, VA3NBH
Run off the Grid is a go with a limit of 100 participants.
This would have been the 10th year, but due to the registration limit, they are going to call it the 9.5 year anniversary.
They will have COVID-19 protocols in place, volunteers are asked to wear masks.
Race course will be in one direction this year, so the checkpoints will be less hectic.
Staggered start for the three races 45 minutes apart, with the shortest race (12.5k) leaving at 10:30.
No food for competitors at the checkpoints, only liquids in disposable cups.
