Shuttle service is available to Red River 100 participants on Day 1 of the event (Saturday, September 20th). When registering for the event, participants will have the option to sign up for either day or select both days for the shuttle. If you happen to register and then later on decide you need a shuttle, please contact us and we’ll get you signed up for the shuttle.
The cost is $25 per person on the shuttle. The shuttle is a passenger van with trailer (space is limited). The shuttle will run Saturday morning and will leave St Vital Park at 7:00 a.m.
How the shuttle works
The Day 1 shuttle works a bit different than the RRPC shuttle (day 2).
On day 1 of the Red River 100, paddlers signed up for the shuttle will meet with their boats and paddling gear at the St Vital Park boat launch. Plan to arrive at St Vital Park by 6:30 a.m. and absolutely no later than 6:40 a.m. so that you have enough time to load your boat and paddling gear onto the trailer. Paddlers are responsible for tying their own boats to the trailer.
Parking is available throughout St Vital Park along the sides of roads (watch for no parking zones) and also in the parking lots. Vehicles cannot be parked at the St Vital boat launch for the entire day, just temporarily while unloading/loading.
The shuttle will leave St Vital Park at 7:00 a.m. and drive to the Ste Agathe boat launch. The drive is approximately 30 minutes. Upon arrival, paddlers can unload their boats/gear, check in with race volunteers, and stage their boat.
Important: If you are signing up for a shuttle for both days, please note that the procedures are different for each day. Contact us if you have any questions or need any assistance. Especially those out of town paddlers with limited local support.
