Special Weather Statment

The Portland area is expecting a significant winter weather event in the days leading up to the race. We are watching the weather very closely but we all know how hard the weather is to predict in the pacific northwest.

Our main concern is for the safety of our participants, both on the water and as they travel to and from the race site. If we need to cancel the race, the race director will notify the PNWORCA Race Chair no later than Friday, January 17th at 5:00pm.
