- Paddle: 1.5 miles on moving river with small whitewater rapids and obstacles
- Run: 2 miles across the Thurmond bridge and a loop through historic Thurmond on pavement and gravel
Participants must provide their own bike, helmet, paddle, and personal flotation device unless renting a watercraft. Helmets are required for both the biking and paddling sections. No e bikes are permitted. Personal watercraft must be self propelled and no longer than 12 feet. Rental options are listed as Single Duckie with paddle and PFD for $35 and Double Duckie with two paddles and two PFDs for $45.
Entry categories include Solo, Duo, and Team (3+), with tiered registration fees that increase closer to race day; race day fees are higher than early registration. Event features include chip timing, water stations, finisher medals for children, an event t shirt for early registrants, and post race snacks and lunch. The paddling segment follows moving water; participants should be comfortable in moving water and wear a properly fitted life jacket while on the river.
