What a summer race season! 🚣‍♀️

Spring kicked off with CCKRT hosting the Race for the Cookies on March 25 on our home water in Bothell. 60+ racers from around Puget Sound competed on a 2K course with staggered start.

April took us to the Gig Harbor Paddlers Cup where paddlers competed in a 5K / 10K circuit in the saltwater harbor. The day wasn’t complete without the favorite Knock Off Sprint. Later that month, four CCKRT athletes attended US National Team Trials at Lake Natoma, near Sacramento, CA.

In May we traveled north to race in the Fedechko Regatta at Maple Ridge, BC. June brought Ted Houk Regatta at Green Lake and July took us to the BeeHam Regatta in Bellingham, and down Bothell’s Main Street in the Independence Day Parade.  

In August, eight CCKRT athletes traveled to Sarasota FL for US ACA Sprint Nationals. And to cap off a fantastic summer, four CCKRT athletes competed at Olympic Hopes Regatta in Poznan, Poland, while our U14 and younger athletes raced at the Fort Ridge Fall Classic on Lake Whonnock in B.C.

What’s next?

The CCKRT Distance Race will be held October 28 (10am start) in Bothell. Come out and cheer for paddlers from across the region. Fall brings some soggy days in the PNW, but we’ve often been charmed with sunshine on race day, so come enjoy the fall colors along the Sammamish River and watch some fantastic racing!
