Saturday July 11, 2015 – 8 a.m. race start

Participants in the 2nd Annual Saint Croix Fat Cat will paddle, run and pedal their way along one of the finest routes we could dream up!

Racers will paddle 3.8 miles on the Saint Croix National Riverway downstream from Scandia’s Log House Landing, around Greenburg Island into William O’Brien State Park.

They exit there and run a 5.5 mile majestic route through the park, ending at Scandia-Marine Lions Park. From there, they bicycle 11 miles along the shores of Big Marine Lake and through some of Scandia’s idyllic back roads finishing back at the Lions Park where they can enjoy a catfish snack & beverage.

All participants will also receive a race-day T-Shirt with special awards for the top finishers in each division. Please join us for a day of exercise, food, music, and FUN!

All proceeds go back to our communities, education, and Lions causes.
