Thank you to everyone who participated in the 50th annual Canoe the Nonquon on Saturday, June 2 in Port Perry. The race is sanctioned by the Ontario Marathon Canoe and Kayak Racing Association (OMCKRA).  The race was started in 1969 by the Lake Scugog Historical Society as a fundraiser for the Scugog Shores Museums.  Over 40 volunteers help plan and organize the race each year. Don't miss the 51st annual race next year on Saturday, June 1. For more general race information please see below.

The course starts on the twisty Nonquon River. For the first few kilometers there are many tight bends to practice your rudder turns. There are also some dead end channels along the river section (when in doubt always keep right).  There is 12 km of river paddling followed by an 8 km sprint along the shores of Lake Scugog to the finish line.

Participants race the clock and can start anytime between 8:00 - 10:30 am on Saturday morning. This is a well attended race with a long-standing history in the community. Amateurs and professionals, young and older, may compete in a large number of competitive or recreational categories. Shuttle vans are available to take participants back to their cars upon concluding the race at either Robinglade Park (river only) or Palmer Park (full course).
