The Neilson Race is the most bad-ass and intense annual race in Quebec. Warriors will team in pairs to battle through 6 major class IV+ in a core time trial race; one lap to make it count. Anything can happen. The finish line being right after the infamous Double Drop, the show is all time for the spectators and racers have no break till the last stroke. Be there. There will be water for everybody.

CASH GAME: The fee to participate is $20.00/racer. This includes insurances, shuttles for your boat (and probably you too), infrastructures and more.

The fastest team drives back home with the over-cash in their pockets.

**Please note that there is $10.00/car fee for entering the ZEC.

Carpooling is STRONGLY recommanded. You can either meet at the Ti-Oui in Saint-Raymond or carpool right before the ZEC territory at the «Shannaham Welcome Center», on your right few kms before the ZEC’s gate.
