I did the Jungle boat race , how does this compare is there more white water or less?? I know the distance is shorter

I signed up for the race. I'd sure like to bum a ride back up to retrieve my truck after the race. Also I signed up as a solo canoe but if somebody wants to be in the front of my canoe they just need to pay the $15 and I can change to double canoe.

We were definitely in the slacker division, when we got there the race had already started. it was raining lightly, but we still had a great time. will definitely come back next year.
