The second annual Big Chop race series starts May 1st one week from today.
www.bigchop.ca
The series is put on by Ryan Pogue and Bryan Tasaka, and is a favorite on mine. The races go from May 1st and run every second Thursday until the Chanpionship race on September 4th.
Each race varies in length, and may have some running envolved on certain nights. There is also a short course called the little chop as well.
This year brings a few big sponsors. CityTV and Crave FM have joined in, as well as Think Kayaks.
Together with Mountain Equipment Co-op, Momar, Vancouver Ocean Sports, Lasso, Stolhquist, Old Town, Seaward, and Helly Hansen this should be a great year.
Cost for each each is set at $8.00, with the option of buying a season's pass.
Registration opens at 6pm and racing starts at 7pm.
After the race, there is the famous BBQ, which is a highlight in its own.
Each race will have draw prizes as well, which include:
- MEC prize packages
- Helly Hansen Lifa Cool Tops
- Lasso Security Cables
- Accent Wing Blade Paddle
- Ryders Sunglasses
- Stolhquist PFD's
- H2O Audio Cases
- Edge Energy package
- Carb-Boom Gel package
- Pelican Cases
- Watershed Dry Bags
- Pogue Sports package
- Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race entries
- just to name a few.
I know I am starting to sound like a commercial, but this series is very good.
