The Little White Salmon Race 2012 was an epic event with an all-star crew of kayakers and volunteers. At the end of the day we had 54 racers, 7 swims, 25+ Spirit descents, 4 boats in chaos, and some of the fastest times and smoothest events yet! Due to the high volume of racers, we expanded the course to stretch from Getting Busy to Wishbone, making the race course to include Island Drop for the very first time
Check out the full results under the Results tab, but congrats to our top three finishing teams!
1. Evan Garcia and Isaac Levinson 14 min 58 sec
2. Tie: Lane Jacobs and Darren Albright / Jure Poberaj and Louis Geltman 15 min 14 sec
3. Rush Sturges and Todd Anderson 15 min 16 sec
Andy McMurray coming into the finish line
