May
Saturday and Sunday May 29-30th 2010 The South Dakota Kayak Challenge is the first marathon-endurance paddling race in the state. Racers will face 75 miles on the Missouri National Recreational River, starting in history-rich Yankton, S.D., and ending in less than 36 hours in Sioux City, Iowa.The SDKC portion of the Missouri National Recreational River varies greatly, from narrow channels between islands to areas where the river is more than a quarter-mile wide. Views from Google Earth or even Google Maps can give you an accurate view of the area. As a first time event aimed at a wide range of paddlers, the SDKC timeframe is 36 hours for all participants. As registrations come in, we hope to develop a series of cut-off times for racing veterans and offer cash prize incentives.
