The Mascoma Slalom has ran every year since 1963 and is the oldest consecutively run slalom race in the country. Dartmouth College's Ledyard Canoe Club hangs temporary gates on the Mascoma and lays out the course. Then, we take it all down after the race. The event draws a wide variety of competitors, from nationally ranked slalom boaters to creek boaters who have fun just trying to make a couple of the gates! The Mascoma is class II-III, depending on levels.
Logistics: The Mascoma Slalom will take place on Saturday, April 22nd. Registration will begin 9am. Racers may run practice laps after they register and before the mandatory racer meeting at 9am. The race fee is $20 to compete in the race, $15 for Dartmouth students. Payment can be either cash, check, or DA$H for students.
Please park at Baker's Crossing. If parking spots are filled, you can utilize the church parking lot up the road.
