What does the race entail?

Each category has three different divisions: Competitive,

Recreational, and Team (no more than 5 individuals).

Competitive will take-on this course individually and

are graded on Primitive Survival Ratings (PSR), overall time,

and sportsmanship. Teams are graded on total amount of

money raised for their cause and how many fans they bring to

the finish line (there is a $5 per person entry fee

(10 and under are free)). Recreational is not graded and may

use this race as a fundraiser for a charity of their choice

(must be approved).

This year our race will begin and end at the Ichetucknee Springs last take out. (Parking will be available at the South entrance. After kayak drop off at the southern most take out.) When the race starts, kayakers will launch their vessels and paddle up the Ichetucknee River to the northern kayak launch. There they will pull their Kayak Out of the river, Do a 2-mile. walk / run And then dive into the Springs to retrieve a coin they will need to submit before being allowed back on the river. (So bring a diving mask or goggles!) Once competitors present the coin, they can launch their kayak and paddle back down to the last take out. When competitors reach the last take out, they will exit the river with their kayak and once they drag their kayak across the finish line, that will be the end of the race for our 1.0 division.

Note: wear swim attire, as you may face several water obstacles.

For 1.0, taking on only the Ichetucknee River, this will be your finish line. For 2.0 and 3.0 taking on the Santa Fe and Suwannee rivers, you will pit-stop here for lunch before moving on to Camp Nico. Note: your time will pause while on break.

For 2.0 and 3.0, you will continue downstream to the Santa Fe River. Turn upstream and paddle to Camp Scardaville. You will then attempt a land navigation course via azimuth (compass with distance and direction). Each competitor and team must reach all five checkpoints and complete each PSR before moving on (10 minute max at each checkpoint).

Teams and competitors will ruck their gear throughout the course. Teams may use a relay format to complete the race. Recreational may pack gear in vessels. PSR examples are: fire starting, spear throwing, tomahawk/knife throwing, archery, self-defense, water purification, shelter construction, etc. 3.0 will receive extra points for sleeping in their shelter.

The next day we will begin launching before sunrise. You will launch with a wingman and must remain with them until dawn. Everyone is required to stop at Ellie Rays. 3.0, be prepared to complete an obstacle before moving on to the Suwannee River. This is the finish line for 2.0.

Everyone who starts the day-two paddle must finish before 6:00pm. There will be two checkpoints along this river race. These checkpoints are for your safety and allows us to keep track of everyone along the river. The finish line is at Hart Springs Park on the Suwannee River.
