  • But, also, please keep in mind.....IF YOU ARE SIGNED UP AS A SOLO PARTICIPANT, YOU MUST RUN ALL THREE LEGS OF THE RACE ON YOUR OWN!!!! YOU CANNOT BE IN A BOAT WITH OTHERS AND BE CONSIDERED SOLO!!! This is a fun, family friendly event. Let's work on the honor system, and everyone be honest. If you are caught in the boat with another solo, you will both be disqualified from the race. It ruins the fun for everyone. (However, if you have a minor competing as a solo, for their safety, we will allow the minor in a boat with an older participant.)
