The course is 10.6 miles long and takes about 2 hours. There are 3 short portages around the locks. These are on the tow path, which is graveled, and are about 100 yards long each.

The race will begin at 10:00 at the canal house on Blackwells Mills Road and finish at the historic Van Wickle house on Eastern Avenue in Franklin ( just off interstate route 287 south of Rutgers prep school).

Classes will be set up based on entries received before November 10th and will be posted. There must be at least 5 entries to establish a class. Entries not naturally occuring in an established class will be assigned to classes based on the whim of the race director.

New:
Observe the race progress from anywhere in the WORLD!
