This is a "downwind" race, very reliable, with knee to waist high waves. 12:00 start time is one hour later than previous for better wind. Odell Lake downwinding is half the distance and half the intensity of The Gorge Viento run, with a lot fewer hazards. That said, all downwinding requires safety leashes and pfd's required!
Blue green algae warnings will not cancel the race. Join us at the 42th annual, Odell Lake Resort Pioneer Cup!
Please help spread the word to your paddle groups and customers!

The Odell Lake 2022 Pioneer Cup Results
The best part of this years race was the camaraderie and the attitude of the participants! Even though the wind didn't cooperate for the usual downwind conditions it was a great race and a test of endurance and skill. A highlight was the youngest participant ever, Niva Bruggeman, Age 8. Kudos to Odell Lake Resort for the BBQ and hosting the event!
