Day of the Longboat
Summer may be over, but you can still get to the beach one final time! One of UBC REC’s signature events returns to the picturesque shores of Jericho Beach with over 3,000 people paddling through the ocean in the largest voyageur canoe race of its kind. It’s the perfect way to kick off the school year! All teams must attend a mandatory pre-race clinic in order to race.
