- Enter WACKO Slalom Race – Saturday. Each competitor may run a max of 5 slalom runs with 2 runs per class. This is a low- key fun event. Open start. Scoring is best run.
- Enter WorldKayak.com's Slalom Survivor – Sunday Do you feel like you’re fighting to get anywhere on the river? Better stroke timing will give you that extra finesse you need to improve all your river maneuvers as well as make your paddling look great! Slalom Survivor is a fun way to help you think about timing strokes precisely, applying power smoothly and setting specific destinations on the river. Non-racers can apply some of the skills and habits of slalom racing to everyday paddling and have a great time. Joe Jacobi will explain!
