Sunday May 29, 2005
St Joseph River - Elkhart, Indiana
water data: 19.01' and 2,510 cf/s
The new modified course for this years 25th Annual Elkhart Truth Great race proved to be a challenging but very delightful one. Spectators got a better than average view of the race as the competitors passed by the finish line on three occasions. The water was a good level for paddling and the upstream leg provided just enough of a challenge for all paddlers. Also the addition of a 4 mile recreational course provided ample length with an all downstream course.
