We just got home from the 2nd annual Upper Klamath Race. The race began with a mass start of kayaks, catarafts, and paddle boats and began just above the Class IV+ Caldera. The finish line was seven miles later just below State Line Falls.

Team Hardware members Zach Collier and Pete Wallstrom were the first and second place cataraft finishers. They were so fast that they beat all paddle boats except the Oregon Rafting Team. Zach finished only 20 seconds behind the ORT and was right behind them the entire race. Momentum River Expeditions (Pete’s company) was the first rafting company to finish the paddle boat race.

A big thanks to Noah’s River Adventures and the Oregon Rafting Team for all their hospitality and for putting the race together. Thanks again to SOTAR and Madcatr for providing the best boat and best frame for the race! Our next event will be the Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival on May 16th & 17th.
