CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Location:  Earth Discovery Center Boat Ramp - follow signs for the EDC from either the 56th St. or 71st St. entrances to the park.  Please note that standard park entry fees will apply.

Overflow Parking: If you find that the EDC lot is full, park in the Peace Learning Center lot (just north of the EDC on DeLong Road).

Courses: 

Three course options:  4-hr paddling race, 2-hr paddling race, OR a 2-hr foot-only race.  We will not be using SI timing for this event.

Time Schedule: 

1:00 pm -- Check-in opens

2:00 pm -- Mass start for the 4-hr paddling race

2:00 – 4:00 pm  --  2-hr paddling or foot race participants can start anytime

6:00 pm -- Cutoff for all races

Skill Levels:  All skill levels are welcome, but be aware that a score-o event doesn't have pre-defined courses of varying difficulty. The score-o presents all controls on one map and the participant chooses which controls to visit within the allotted time.  Also, for those choosing the paddle event, the fun factor will be directly proportional to your skill level in handling a canoe (paddling in circles when you're trying to go somewhere gets old fast). Please come out and join us for a fun afternoon.

Registration Fees:  There will be no on-site event-day registration.  Pre-registration only.  Fees for this event are $12/individual Club Members and $18/individual Non Club Members (or team, if you are planning on putting more than one person in a boat).  Extra maps are available at $2/map.  Also note that there is a gate fee for the park, so carpool if you'd like to save some money!

Boat Rentals: If you would like to rent a boat from ICO, you can reserve your boat during pre-registration for $10/boat.  Boats are plastic and can seat up to three people with a built-in middle seat.  You are certainly welcome to bring your own boat as well (you will pay an extra car-top boat launch fee ($3) along with your gate fee when you enter the park).  Boat rentals are also available at the Eagle Creek Marina on a first-come-first-served basis (https://wheelfunrentals.com/in/indianapolis/eagle-creek-outfitters).
