NCA Minimental Small Boat Race - Virtual Race
Friday October 16th - Sunday October 25, 2020

Aloha! Welcome to the NCA Minimental Small Boat Race! This race is open to nearly all single and two-person canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and (this year only) paddle ergs. Due to the pandemic, Minimental will be a virtual race, with several changes to the race’s traditional structure. Highlights of this year’s race:
​

• Multiple race distances: this year, Mini-mental will consist of several race distances to provide options for paddlers of all crafts, skill levels, and fitness levels. If so motivated, racers may (and are encouraged!) to submit times in multiple race distances. See the “Course Map” tab for more information.
• Prizes for women paddlers: in the spirit of the mission of our club, the National Capital Area Women’s Paddling Association (NCAWPA), Minimental is proud to promote participation and competition among women paddlers. This year, we are trying out offering prizes to top women outrigger finishers: free entry to Minimental 2021. This prize will be provided to all women first place finishers in the women’s OC1 category as well as the women’s OC-2 and mixed OC-2 category (across all age groups). 
• Guts and Glory Challenge: looking to finish your paddling season with a bang? We are offering an extra challenge for paddlers that enter all three race distances. See the “Course Map” tab for more information
• Donations go to the Anacostia Riverkeeper: we're very excited to announce we'll be teaming up with the Anacostia Riverkeeper this year. The Riverkeeper is a valued member of the environmental community, helping to clean, monitor, and connect communities to the river -- you may have seen them out in previous years providing boat tours of the river. Instead of a registration fee, we are asking racers to donate to the Riverkeeper through their online donation portal. We're suggesting a $20 baseline donation for your first race, and $5 for each additional race. Race registration still takes place through PaddleGuru. See link below. 

Racers may submit times beginning Friday, October 16 through midnight on Sunday, October 25. Results will be updated on a rolling basis - check back during the submission window for updates!
