The race for mental health was September 13th, 2014.  The race was only 4 miles from Francis Avenue Park to Gil Dawgs.  A small pack of racer and recreational paddlers showed up to support this great cause.  100% of the profits of the race went to assist people who the foundation helps.  The foundation is 100% volunteer run with no staff so all of the donations help those with mental health needs.  The race started off with a high pumping sprint at 8.5-9mph in the shallow water.  We could tell everyone there were out for blood!  The race maintained a grueling 8mph pace for the entire race length.  In my opinion one of the fastest races in 2014.  In the mens 15+ length class, Brent Postma achieved 1st place with a time of 30.5 min, Karl Vogel 2nd place with a time of 31 minutes, and Steve Hunter 3rd place chasing Karl closely with 31.6 minutes.  Jan Mallet won first place in the women's over 15+ length class in her first race ever!  ...
