The Feeder Cup Summer Slalom Series is a casual and fun way to experience slalom racing and test your slalom skills with other like minded local paddlers. Racing is open to paddlers of all ages, boats of all types, and is free of charge.  Racers practice on the course before the race, count their own penalties, and take as many runs as time will allow, but only best two runs count for FeederCup points.   The results are published on this page, and at the end accumulated scores are tabulated and overall winners are declared.

Course will be set by 6PM for practice runs with timed runs starting around 7 PM. Dates are June 17,  July 22,  and Aug. 19.

Canoes (decked and open) and kayaks are welcome. Race boats not required! Kayak categories will include race boats, long plastic boats (9ft and over) and short plastic boats(under 9 ft.).  Top male and female racers will be recognized. Age classes will include Cadet (14 and under), Junior (15-18), Senior (35 and older) and Master (50 and older), plus an Open class.

FeederCup Points:

5 Points for participation
5 Points for each clean run
8 points for a first place finish
5 points for a second place finish
3 points for a third place finish

***PFDs and helmets are required.***
