Hello Racing Fans,

We are pleased to announce that the USACK board has awarded Red River Racing Team a 2008 Olympic Team Trials Qualifier. This means that some of the best racers in the country will be coming to San Marcos' Rio Vista Park to begin their run for a spot on the Olympic Team! The top 3-4 placing finishers in each of the 4 categories (K1, K1W,C-1, and C-2) will go on to compete in the Olympic Team Trials April 26-28th in Charlotte North Carolina! We are so excited to work with the City of San Marcos to promote the sport of Canoe/Kayak racing, to be recognized by USACK as having a good racing and training facility, and for the chance to show San Marcos and the Nation what a uniqe and beautiful resource the San Marcos River Truly is.

The Race will be held Sunday February 17, 2008 at Rio Vista Park! There will be pro-racing, novice, and junior classes so that anyone interested can compete! Cheer on Local Red River Racing Junior athletes, and local Olympian Ben Kvanli, and his wife Michelle! Come enjoy the Olympic Spirit!!

Volunteers will be needed to work as gate judges, announcers, and for boat checking and other varios jobs. We will train anyone interested. We will also be looking for local sponsors to help promote and sustain the event!
