Gather your team, or cheer them on and join the fun! Registration will be held beginning on race day at 8:30 a.m. Boats start launching from the Station Road in New Limerick at 10 o’clock Saturday morning. It goes just under 9 miles to the finish line at the walking bridge in Houlton with the awards ceremony in Riverfront Park.

The river is high this year, so climb in, maybe get a little wet, and enjoy the fast ride.

A $15.00 entry fee will get you a great t-shirt and a fun filled day!

To register, complete the registration form and mail or drop it off in person to the Houlton Chamber Office on Main Street all this week.

The public is invited to join in the festivities.

For more information you can reach out to Greater Houlton Chamber of Commerce Director Jane Torres  by emailing director@greaterhoulton.com, or call 532-4216 or 694-3414.
