Merrymeeting Bay Canoe Race

Merrymeeting
The 2000 Race Slideshow

The annual Merrymeeting Bay four mile co-ed canoe race is from the Brunswick town boat landing to Nickerson's Dock on Merrymeeting Bay. This fun event is designed to bring the men's and women's teams closer together.  Some teams just relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.  Others have no time for sightseeing as they wish to join the list of legendary past champions.  

The race is followed by a eight mile run back to campus.
