Voyageur Landing Race

Come and challenge your canoe, kayak, racing skills at the Illinois Paddling Council Voyageur Landing Race at Voyageur Landing Forest Preserve, Elgin IL (50 Airport Rd., Elgin, IL, 60123). This is a 8 mile upstream downstream race so no shuttling is required because the race starts and ends in the same location.

The Race starts downstream .5 miles to a counterclockwise turn around the first island. It then heads upstream 4 miles to the Carpentersville Bridge. Turns around any of the bridge’s abutments and heads downstream to Voyager Landing for the finish. Total mileage about 8 miles.
