Little White Salmon Race 2015 May 2-3

After a year of abnormal weather in the Pacific Northwest, there was some serious indecision over this year’s race LW Race date. We appreciate everyones patience and apologize for leaving everyone in the dark…… but the day has come for light to shine down upon the beauty of decision, commitment, and another LW Race.

The LW Race will be on May 2-3, which will allow for the chance of better flow. This also will allow the students and staff of World Class Academy to help organize the event as these dates fall within their semester.

We are excited for the 2015 LW Race and hope you will come share in the celebration of one of the world’s most pristine rivers.

Another year has gone by and the Little White Salmon River in all her majesty has been re-charging the batteries. The snow came and then the rain, filling the underground springs, the heart of the Little White with its liquid bloodline, ready to pump out the raw energy and nutrients to all of her many and wonderful extremities. Wood has come and gone. Some decided to stay, evidence of the importance in which the LW holds this race vs the hierarchy of nature. Oh yes, the Pachamama of the Little White has been hungry this year and on Sat May 31 we mean to honor and feed her legacy the only way we know how……..by racing with clean, fast, efficient and beautiful stroke after stroke after stroke after stroke………………..LW RACE 2014. YEAR FOUR. 

We are excited to announce the 2013 Little White Race, which is set for Sunday May, 26 2013. Please take a look at the information as the race format has changed slightly… and be sure to register if you plan to race! Safe lines.

See you soon….

 

 

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!
