2017 Racing Season Comes to a Close

The 2017 racing season had a little bit of everything. The season started with cold, wet, flooded conditions. As the summer progressed, we had many perfect race days. The 90 Miler was a bit cooler than years past, but the late season races made up for it with above average temps and plenty of sunshine. In July we had a preview race on the 2018 USCA nationals course. This race will now happen annually as the New York State Canoe/Kayak Championships and this year will again serve as a preview of the 2018 nationals. We had a series of NYMCRA sponsored sprint races held at various point races during the year. These were a lot of fun and provided many paddlers a chance to win a little extra cash and  the opportunity to paddle with different partners. Now it's time to recover and plan for the 2018 season. We will continue to have newsletters throughout the off season with features on training and hights from the past season. If there is anything you'd specifically like to see in the upcoming newsletters, please let us know!

Annual NYMCRA Banquet

Come join us for NYMCRA's end of the season banquet at the Sunset Restaurant in Auburn NY! There will be dinner, a raffle with lots of great items, opportunity to renew your membership for 2018, participate in open floor discussions about NYMCRA, marathon canoe and kayak racing, the 2018 Nationals in Syracuse and many other topics, run for open positions on the board of directiors, BOD meeting, presentations, and lots more! Also a great opportunity for new comers to get to know the paddling community. 
Depending on the weather, tentatively there will be an informal paddle before the banquet on the Owasco Lake outlet at 9:00 AM. Meet at the boat launch by White Bridge in Emerson Park at the mouth of the outlet. Entrance to the park/launch is 6914 E Lake Rd, Auburn, NY 13021.
