In addition to posting the dates, the calendar contains web site links as well as other contact information.
www.usawildwater.com also has some articles promoting upcoming races. For example, check outeshe
recent article with the information on 2008 Team Trials. It gives you the information you need to know (such as the schedule,
a basic course description and links for lodging).
