Astral has supported the Green Race for a long time and this year donated a lifejacket to be awarded to the best green race swim. Mike “Mexico” Metzger took the gold. We’re glad you’re ok Mexico!
Thanks to Watershed Drybags for their continued support for the Green Race and for making the best drybags around.
The Nantahala Outdoor Center has long supported the Green Race as well as kayaking all over the southeast US. Thanks for your continued support and way to raise ‘em strong!
This year’s race was graced with many golden strokes. Here’s some favorites. Congrats to all the golden strokers out there and thanks to Werner for their continued support of grass roots kayaking!
Thanks to Teva for providing radios to make life easier for our time keepers and their continued support for the Green Race.
Pyranha donated skirts to the racers and is always down to support this awesome grass roots event. They even had top minority representation this year, Old Guy’s, C1’s, and Ferners’!
Woody once again graciously hosted hundreds of rowdy kayakers at his place for some apres-kayak activities. Complete with band and late night Red Bull DJ, this was one of the best parties we’ve been to in a long time/ever. Thanks LL and Woody.
