2000 Slalom/Wildwater/Rodeo/Festival Schedule

for North America and elsewhere

PLEASE CHECK ALL DATES WITH RACE ORGANIZERS BEFORE PLANNING TRAVEL.

I've tried to indicate questionable information with ??, but that's not a guarantee that everything else is accurate. And if something is wrong, then it's probably my fault, not the race organizer's.

Each event is tagged by type:

Please send comments, additions, corrections and boxes of Frangos to Rich Kulawiec. Note: please use any of the Internet standard/non-proprietary formats for your correspondence, such as: ASCII text, HTML, Postscript or PDF. If you're sending pictures, I can cope with GIF, JPG, PNG, PPM, PBM, Sun Raster, and some TIFF. If you are a race organizer, please add me to your mailing list: 305 Painter's Crossing, Chadd's Ford, PA 19317.

Send your thank-yous to all of the many, many people who have made this possible by organizing races and teaching clinics and a hundred other things. You'll find a lot of their names on this schedule, along with more on the Credits page. If I've overlooked anybody, I assure you it's not intentional.
