The concept is a core race, no frills - just friends out racing on Irelands most exciting kayak run.This is all about the challenge of racing on the Glens in two seperate events.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Event 1</span></strong> - Team Race</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">A race from constriction to the bottom for teams of three paddlers. This will be a test of stamina and skill as the teams negotiate the course which will include steps, slides and waterfalls. We expect the race time to come in at around 15 mins so each paddler must be highly skilled, fit and willing to run some of the most impressive rapids in the country with arms and lungs burning! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The race organisers have nominated 19 team captains selected from loosly calculated geographical regions in order to ensure nationwide particpation. The captains were invited to select two team members from their region to compete in the race which ensures a strong field of paddlers from across Ireland.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The race organisers welcome the 2010 team captains and wish them all good lines in the Race! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#cc66cc;">Mens Expert Class</span></strong> </span><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Munster:</span> </strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>1.
