Stage 2: Paddle the Deerfield River

Teams arrived at Transition Area 1 after having completed the first trek and a river swim. Their next challenge was to inflate their packrafts and charge down the Deerfield river for 11 miles, hopefully riding the bubble from a daily dam release upstream. Racers could expect Class I and II rapids for the next 11 miles on their way to the next Transition area in Charlemont, MA
