Wild Hog 2008 - Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race 2008
THE RACE BEGINS APRIL 26!!

You are invited to compete in The Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race Saturday, April 26, 2008! Our optional weather date this year is Saturday, May 3. Registration begins 8:00 a.m. and ends at 10:00 a.m.. The Race begins at or before 8:30 a.m. or when enough racers are present to put into the river. Proceeds benefit the Levy Association for Retarded Citizens (LARC) and is sponsored by the AMVETS Post 88 of Bronson, Florida.

THE CLASSES

This year, as you can see, we have added a few more classes, i.e. Parent-Youth and Senior (55+). We also have added 3rd place to each category to give more folks a chance to win. We will have a better system for calculating racing times this year and there will be a board for each division with times.



Experienced
Kayak (1 man) This is the only class for kayaks!
Mixed Class
Novice [1st time racers only]
Parent-Youth (under 18)
Senior (55+)
2-man Kayak
Women’s Class

If someone in your canoe is experienced, you MUST race in the experienced class and NOT the novice class.

Each racer will receive a bottle of water, a race T-shirt and a food wrist-band. If you lose the wristband you will have to pay for your lunch. No replacements will be given.

Prizes
This year's prizes are:
1st place: a week's stay at Westgate Villas in Kissimmee, FL (one mile from Disney)
2nd place: A GPS navigation system
3rd through 6th place: $100 Wal-Mart gift certificates

Also, throughout the day there will be lots of raffles drawn for various prizes. Raffle tickets will be sold on site for all prizes. The main prizes will not be drawn until all racers have completed the course. Remember you do not have to be present to win!

Ticket sales for the main prizes will start the end of January. Our members will be selling all over the Levy county area or you can call the AMVETS Post 88 at 486-1642 for information on where you can purchase your tickets.

Photographs

New: This year, we will be taking photographs at the start of the race (by our Wild Hog sign) and at the finish line (when you come over the log). We will not be processing the photos on-site, but you will be able to see how your photos will look at our "sampler" table where you can sign up to purchase your photo(s) at the end of the race.Your photos will be posted online, with your permission (see registration form add-on), and you can choose which photos you would like us to process through a phone call, email, or by filling out a form at the finish line.

Your photos will be processed and placed in a nice Wild Hog "photo folder" and mailed out to you in approximately 10-15 days after the race. It's a fun way to remember the race.


New: Additional Photo-Op of: "I Survived the Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race" billboard cut-out. See photo below.Wild Hog 2008 - Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race 2008

You will have an opportunity to have your photo taken at our "carney" wild hog cut-out board where you face and/or your team mate's face will be replaced with the wild hog's face through the cut-out of "I Survived the Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race." You will be asked to sign a release form (see registration form) allowing us to put the photos online).

Please print, fill out and mail the registration form in with your check to: AMVETS Wild Hog #88, Attn: Margie McGarva, 5450 NE 96 Ave, Bronson, FL 32621.


Good Luck!
