2 Comment(s)The Clare Glens Invitational Race
With the River god's smiling, the first Clare Glens Invitational Race is looking good. Races such as this are helping to bringing white water back to the core of Irish paddling, its rightful position. More information about the race format can be found on the Clare Glens Race Blog.
The invitational model paired with the ambitious course will make this race fodder for spectators. The only problem people will have is deciding which vantage point will provide the most carnage.
