Lake Olathe " Paddle NOT Plod"

...No Running Shoes Required!!!

5/28/11  (Saturday)
Olathe, KS (See map below)
10am Race Start with Paddling Clinic to Follow
NO ENTRY FEE
DIVISIONS: Every boat is an "unlimited" and finish times/places will be recorded and posted.
 

Please note that the Bridge2Bridge is now an official fundraiser for the American Red Cross and the tornado victims in Joplin, Missouri. We will have Mike Herbert, 3 time Olympian participating in the race and instructing a paddling clinic afterwards. In addition, courtesy of Epic Kayaks, we will be auctioning off an Epic Signature ...Series Hybrid Touring Paddle (length-lock 210-220cm).

As previously noted, there is not an entry fee for this race, however in lieu of an entry fee any donation would be greatly appreciated. Any cash collected at the race will be tallied and a check will be written to the Red Cross.

The American Red Cross will accept credit cards, or checks. For people donating with the check method, they need to write, “Joplin Disaster Fund” in the memo section. This will designate the money to the Joplin disaster and ensure that their money will be given just to Joplin. Another important fact to let donators know is, “that for every $1.00, they donate, merchants are matching this donation with $7.00.” So by donating people can really make a difference in helping the disaster victims.

Information for donations' fund: (This is the location they would like the money sent)
