OC6 beach changeout relays - mixed teams - about $45/paddler/race - See Koichi for details

There will be four different race formats to choose from to suit your ability level and number of paddlers. Similar to last year, there will be the Magnuson Park beach changeout race, the long-distance iron race, the water changeout race and the featured race will be the 26-mile beach relay race, with designated beach change locations around Lake Washington. Feedback was very positive on last year's beach relay race and we have extended the distance this year based on racer feedback.
