Marathon week

Another Ausable River Canoe Marathon has come and gone and as usual it was a blast. The B&B was super busy with paddlers prepping for the big race as well as our good friend Charlie's visit.

As for our own participants in the race Sean Casey and Matt Meersman finished in a very respectable 12th place in one of the toughest fields in years. Also our own Matt McDonald and brother Nick finished their first ever Marathon in under 17 hours! Congrats to all the paddlers in their adventure this year.

Last Friday we had the pleasure to once again host the Casey challenge youth race. This is a very fun event for kids 12 to 17 years of age paddling here from Borchers an hour downstream to Burtons Landing. It went very well and all participants looked good coming into the landing.

We would also like to mention that during Marathon week our Men's team won first place in the business relay canoe race for the second year in a row! Hopefully next year we can three peat.

Canoeing has picked up with some more consistent weather and the river could not be in better shape. We look forward to August and all the families getting in their last summer trips before school starts.

Hope to see you all soon,

Your Borchers Crew
