6th Annual Broad River Race Day and Fun Float in Mooresboro, NC
July 20 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join us for the 6th annual Broad River Race Day! We welcome folks to race at their own pace and enjoy these 5 miles on the most beautiful stretch of the Broad River. Remember, the hare may not always outrun the tortoise!
This race only has two rules: – You MUST wear a PFD. – No motors allowed
Paddle solo, tandem, or with as many people as will fit in your boat. We will meet at the Lake Houser put in at 1:00 sharp to drop off boats. As you come down Lake Houser Road, bear off to the right onto the single-lane paved road into Lake Houser Adventures. Just before the Lake Houser swimming pool, take a right onto a dirt road and pass through the gates to the ATV park. Parking and the put-in are straight ahead on the river’s shore, where we will drop off boats. From there, we will take vehicles to the Broad River Greenway.
There is a $5 parking fee at Lake Houser and Greenway. Betsy the Turtle drops, and the race begins at 2:00 pm. And we’re off to paddle or float at your own pace. The first person, or first team, across the finish line, wins a MountainTrue gift bag and takes possession of the Turtle until next year’s race.
Youth with paddling experience are welcome on this trip. A parent or guardian must accompany anyone under the age of 18 for the entire duration of the outing.
We do have up to 4 boats available for rent. If you rent a boat, please call David @ 704-300-5069 to confirm the PFD (life jacket) size.
The rain date for this event will be August 3rd. Please hold both dates on your calendar.
