Withlacoochee Wilderness Kayak & Canoe Race & Rally, Inglis, Florida.

 According to their website:

This paddling race & rally will be on Saturday, March 19, 2011 at the Buddy Risher Park in Inglis, Florida.

This event starts at the Inglis By-Pass Spillway of the Withlacoochee River and ends at the Winding River Park in Yankeetown.

The paddling race is 7 miles with categories for men’s kayak, women’s kayak and combined tandem for kayaks or canoes.

The rally is 5 miles and requires the participants to find clues and answer questions.

This paddling event has something for every kayaker in my family. We have competitive racers and paddlers who love to just relax and enjoy the scenery while paddling at their own pace.

The only thing that’s keeping my family from this event is distance. It’s just a little too far from my home to travel for a weekend event.
