Question: What is this?

Answer: Boats made entirely of cardboard will race down the Big Sioux River. Participants will be launching from the old bath house on the north side of the river in the Dell Rapids Park.  Boats will compete for prizes against other boats.

Question: How do I Register?

Answer: Contestants may (and are encouraged) to pre-register with the Chamber of Commerce; however, you may register on the day of the race starting at 11:00 am.

Question: What is required?

Answer: Your watercraft must be-

  1. Human Powered - Whatever you construct must be completely powered by human muscle (oars or paddles are acceptable) - you decide how many crew members you need to power it.

  2. Less than 6 foot wide - Here more is not better (go figure)

  3. Participants under 18 years old must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

  4. Life Jacket Required - For everyone's safety.
