Message from the TCA

Paddlers,
The 49th annual Tenandeho White Water Derby will be held on Sunday, April 7, 2024.
Please see the race application form for race details. The $10.00 ACA day-of-race membership fee is included in your $20.00 race application fee. It is not a separate payment.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be no registrations after 11:00 AM or at the start line at Coons Crossing. If you feel that you might not arrive in Mechanicville to register before the 11:00 AM cut-off time, please pre register! That will guarantee you a place in the race.
PLEASE NOTE: Helmets and PFDs are required to be worn from start to finish by all competitors in the race. Anyone not complying will be disqualified.
The men's short kayak class is for boats under 13 feet long. The men's long kayak class will be for boats 13 feet long and over. The shorter class is intended for whitewater play boats, slalom style kayaks, and shorter recreational kayaks. The long class is for racing designs, wildwater boats, and longer recreational kayaks.
Come and bring your family and friends! The more the merrier! We look forward to seeing you on the water.
