From May through June, a somewhat underplayed racing series takes place right in the heart of Vail. The Vail Whitewater Racing Series. The races are located on a small stretch of water right on the Gore. It is certainly a spectacle that is so centrally located no one should miss. The races are divided between three categories including kayak , two-person raft and stand up paddle board with different course challenges every week. Course Challenge for each event will be determined the day prior based on river flows. Each week, the two round format will consist of an individual time trial with results determining the seeding for the second round, head-to-head race. Having recently bought a stand up paddle board I will have to look into doing this for next year. I may need a bit of practice though first. There are a few photos from the race in the sports category on the main site. - Barry
