[Cartlidge Ruth]

Hello Everyone!

 

Please share this information with your guides, guests, friends, river
rats and general outdoor community:

 

Outdoor Chattanooga and the City of Chattanooga Parks and Recreation
Department will present the first annual Tennessee River Blueway Canoe
and Kayak Race on Saturday, September 22. The race, sponsored by Merrill
Lynch and Rock Creek Outfitters, will feature a 4-mile downriver course
on the Tennessee River, from South Chickamauga Creek and ending at Ross'
Landing on the downtown Chattanooga waterfront.

 

Competition will be open to kayakers and canoeists with categories for
racing kayaks, long and short canoes and kayaks and tandem kayaks. The
entry fee will be $25 per person, with all proceeds going to upgrading
facilities and information resources (Web and print) for Tennessee River
Blueway users.

 

Trophies will be awarded for each of sixteen categories and every
participant will get a chance to win door prizes donated by Rock Creek
Outfitters, The Tennessee River Gorge Trust, and other Chattanooga
businesses and organizations. 

 

Interested paddlers can find more information and a registration form at
www.outdoorchattanooga.com.

 

Use the attached flyer and press release at your discretion and please
don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the event.
I do have a high resolution version of the flyer if you would like one.

 

Thank you!

-Ruthie
