2005 East Coast Sprint Championships
Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, PA
The Philadelphia Outrigger Canoe Club (POCC) and the East Coast Outrigger Racing Association (ECORA) hosted the 3rd Annual East Coast Outrigger Canoe Sprint Championships in Philadelphia. This event featured teams from outrigger canoe clubs situated up and down the east coast, and crowned the fastest paddlers.
Paddlers competed in 6-person (OC6) and one-person (OC1) outrigger categories. Crews raced within several heats—over distances of 500 meters, 1000 meters and 1500 meters—with top finishers racing in the division finals. The festivities included "challenge races" for area businesses, members of the community and law enforcement groups, as well as a division for disabled athletes.
Here are the results (final heats only) from this weekend's sprints!
