The 2^nd Annual Capreol River Raft Race will be held on Sunday, August 5. It will once again be featured as part of the 2001 Capreol Days activities and is sponsored by Capreol Online. Individuals, groups, clubs, non-profit organizations and businesses are invited to participate. The goal is to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada, promote Capreol, and provide a fun event for participants, residents and visitors to the town during Capreol Days.

Two race classes have been established. The corporate class will feature rafts sponsored by businesses. The recreation class will be for groups, clubs and non-profit organizations. Entry fees for the corporate class will be $100 and for the recreation class, $50. Registration forms must be received by July 9, 2001.

Each raft entered must be constructed in accordance with the rules detailed in the Rules document available at www.capreolonline.com

An annual trophy will be awarded to the corporate team with the fastest time. There are four awards in the recreational category: The Fireball Award to the crew finishing the race first in the finals; The Firecracker Award, to the most spirited team; The Show Off Award for the most creative raft design, and; The Titanic Award for the most spectacular sinking or grounding. All crew members in both classes will receive an olympic-style medal.
