- Racers will begin on bicycle near the main lodge riding through a forest (along the Assinboine River) into a field with switchbacks and small hills. Arriving at the lake they will leave their bicycles at their designated spot, grab their boat(s) and embark on a paddle where they must retrieve items from floating pails.
