Gene17 Ula Slides Race

Gene17 Ula Slides Race

 

Uls Slides Race No More! – After years of running the Ula Slides Race, the summer runoff patterns in Oppland have changed and these changes appear to be the new normal.  The once normally assured July levels on Stor Ula are no longer an annual pattern, and since 2016 we have not run the Ula Slides Race. We therefore look to making the Washing Machine Slalom into our Thursday evening race, and seeding event for the Saturday Åmot BoaterX.

Competition format: Time Trial downriver race, with the top ten moving through to the finals. The paddler with the fastest combined times from both runs win. NB, the time trail results are used for the Head to Head BoaterX seeding.

When: Thursday 16.00 : Race Day; Practice from 15:00
Where: Ula Slides TBC early Week 28, otherwise an alternative venue to be used.
Organiser: Gene17kayaking
