35th Annual Jungle Boater Race on Mulberry River

Post by Brad Wimberly » Sun Mar 20, 2016 3:08 pm

35th Annual Jungle Boater Race Draws Big Crowd
Great weather and a perfect 3.6 river level drew over sixty competitors to this year’s Jungle Boater Race on the Mulberry. The timekeepers mass started each category a minute apart while combining a few of the smaller categories. That meant that all of the competitors started within a hectic seven minute period and played whitewater bumper boats for most of the way down the swift eight mile course from Byrd’s to Turner Bend. A handful of the fastest boats finished under an hour with several others finishing in less than seventy minutes. Ten out of twelve competitors in the mixed tandem category finished under sixty seven minutes. The fastest time in the race was recorded by Russellville residents Dale Burris and Christopher Williams. Former Olympian Mike Herbert won the mixed tandem category with his daughter Savanna, followed closely by the husband / wife team of Ray and Natalie Hines. Hunter Hobbs parlayed his vast paddling experience into a first place finish in the men’s kayak category while veteran paddler Bill Cains once again finished atop the men’s solo canoe division. Below are the results:

I don't think you have Donny Dennis' time listed correctly for men's kayak. He started after me (women's kayak), and finished before me... but you've listed his time as coming in almost 15 minutes after me.

Way to go, Hunter!! :)
Way to go, everyone :)
