Welcome!
|
Due to high river
conditions, the BluzCruz Marathon has been shifted to May 17. |
The
BluzCruz Marathon is a 22-mile charity race for competitive and
recreational canoeists and kayakers along the Mississippi River. No
running shoes required!
The
event will start at the famous Tara Wildlife just north of Vicksburg and
finish at the Vicksburg Front, Vicksburg,
Mississippi. The Marathon
will have multiple
canoe and kayak classes for competitive and recreational paddlers and is
aimed at families and friends wanting to enjoy a safe paddling experience,
as well as camaraderie with others who enjoy the great sport of paddling.
Alicia
Huettel and Heather Zack
Our Charity
Partner
is the Service
Over Self Organization (SOS),
a youth based Christian group that helps less privileged families in our
community with needed home repairs. The BluzCruz Committee is a volunteer, non-profit group. This event
provides a way for these volunteers to give back to the community, and
support a worthy cause, while promoting health and excellence through the
sport of paddling.
The Race will be held in conjunction with Vicksburg
Riverfest. Vicksburg Riverfest festivities include a Friday night
street party, Saturday Arts and
Craft Show, and then back in
the street Saturday night for music and fun for the entire family.
Other sites to see: the Vicksburg National Military Park, Old
Court House Museum, Riverfront
Murals, historic homes, casinos and much more.
