2024 Manotick Round-the-Islands Race
Saturday, June 15, 2024 – 10:00 a.m.
A great time was had by all, at the third annual Manotick Round-The-Islands Paddle on June 15. Eleven plucky adventurers paddled around Long and Nicolls Islands, portaging around both dams.
Although medals were awarded on the basis of time, this year’s paddle of families and friends became more of a pilgrimage, with a leave-no-paddler-behind attitude. In that theme, the paddlers assembled to cross the finish line in precise groups, with the result that everyone earned a medal.
All first and second place finishers received 692 Coffee & Bar gift certificates. A big thanks to GoodLife Fitness in Barrhaven for donating loot bags for all. Special thanks to course marshals Gary & Gezina Pluim, and Marilyn Schacht.
