Rich Weiss Race
The Rich Weiss Race is a staple race for the Club. Slalom boats are not required for the race and many participants race in plastic boats.
The race is named for American Olympian Richard Weiss who spent many years training with the Chilliwack Centre of Excellence at the Tamihi Rapids throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Rich left our small community too early in an incident on the White Salmon River in Washington a year after his tremendous 5th place performance at the 1996 Olympics.

Tamihi 5-0 Race
