West Virginia Waterman Challange

  • Winfield Community Center 178 Second Street Winfield, WV, 25213 United States (map)

EVENT OVERVIEW

Launching from the beautiful new boat ramp adjacent to the Winfield Community Center…racers will paddle upstream 3.5 miles, turn around a buoy, and paddle back down-stream to finish at the bridge. (Total 7 miles, Approx. 1-2 hours depending on watercraft, river conditions, and experience level)

A beginner-friendly ‘Community Float’ will begin as soon as the racers take off. We encourage the floaters to challenge themselves to paddle 1.5 miles upstream to turn around at Winfield High School, before returning back to the boat ramp (Total: 3 miles, Approx. 1 - 2/12 hours depending on experience)

With our launch-point being just about 1 mile upstream from the Winfield Locks and Dam, there is typically little to no current throughout the Race and Float course...simulating more of a "flat-water lake setting". (pending recent rainfall)
