Fox Valley Park District officials continue to regard the race as one of the year’s recreational highlights in the area.

Participants get ready for the start of the 59th Mid-America Canoe and Kayak Race on the Fox River on Saturday. Karl Teske of North Aurora is a member of the St. Charles Canoe Club who elected to show some of his skills Saturday morning during the 59th Mid-America Canoe and Kayak Race on the Fox River.

She added that thanks to a last-minute push, race participation this year was up by about 5% over a year ago. Jennifer Miksula of Montgomery said this was her second year participating in the race and that, regarding the new launch point, “I think with the new bridge construction, safety’s the key.” Teske dismissed the issue of veterans like himself not being able to compare this year’s race time to others because “a race is a race.”

“We’ve since gotten rid of all of our canoes so our friends provided us with theirs,” he said. “Our only strategy is to survive and trail our friends before we take them at the end.”
