Thank you for registering your team in the Seventh Annual Lively Dragon Milton Event!
As you already know, each team can book the use of the boat two times before the event. Coach and steersperson can be booked for an additional fee.
All teams are encouraged to bring your family and friends out to Kelso for a weekend of paddling and camping fun.
The
festivities begin Saturday morning at 8am. (tentatively)---more accurate time to
be determined.
Please note that all participants must have a blue park entrance pass to enter
the park for free. Please enter through main gate and park in the designated
parking lots and then walk to the racing and team area. It is a bit of a walk
so if you have a lot to carry…a wagon may be helpful.
Captains need to have your orange pass to enter the gate for free. This will
allow you to park in the close parking lot near the marshalling area.
We ask that
all teams arrive at least one hour before your first heat. The race schedule
(first block of races) will be posted on the website by Wed May 20. This is NOT
the official race schedule!—this schedule will be subject to changes.
Every team races once and will be seeded into divisions.
The teams will race again and further seeding into divisions will be done. The team placing first place in the third race wins medals.
Every team chose their qualifying races and had the option of racing in an additional race (250m or 500m) as well as 2000-meter races. Please understand that medals will be awarded to the first place team in each division in your qualifying races. Medals will be awarded to 25 team members. These medals go to the people on the winning boats of their division final qualifying race, please do not forget your steersperson and drummer. Your team may purchase additional medals after the race for a fee of $8 per medal.
Your optional races are for fun and interest to see how your time compares to other teams racing the same distance. No medals for these optional races..
Captains meeting will take place at 7:15 am sharp. Each team should have two representatives at the meeting. Rules will be discussed and the format for the day will be laid out. This meeting will take place near the marshalling area at the bottom of the hill.
Directions: From Highway 401, take Highway 25 north to Campbellville Road; west to Tremaine Road. South until you reach Kelso Road. Turn right into auxiliary park entrance Please note…the park can only accept cash only at this gate…or wrist bands…but no credit cards and no debit can be used at the auxiliary gate. The auxiliary gate is before main park entrance…Captains continue and make a right hand turn to the main park entrance.
From Highway 5, take Tremaine Road north to Kelso Road.
Gates will be open at
6:00 am Saturday.
