PNW and National Race Calendar
This table shows the main races for the junior and adult team participates in. This will give you an idea of the racing opportunities. Please click on the ‘Events’ tab at the top and then click ‘SCKC Calendar’ to see a pdf with all the club events (races, race set-up/take-down, closures, open houses, etc.) for the current year. In addition to these events, the SCKC adult membership participates in surf ski races: Monday Night Elks Club races May-Oct in Ballard and Sound Rower races. Everyone participates in our Duck Island Friday races July-Aug.
Races that are marked SCKC in the ‘Support’ column are events which most junior team members are expected to attend and which will have SCKC logistical support (e.g. food/housing/boat transport) and coaching. There is a fee for all SCKC supported events to cover costs. Race info is emailed out to the team. Please stop by the office to get on that if you are not getting the emails.
