Congratulations to Trey Reaves on his 1st Place Finish in the Great Alabama 650 Kayak Race
The Great Alabama 650 – A Champion on the Horizon
The 6th edition of the Great Alabama 650 came to an exciting conclusion with first-place paddler – Trey Reaves – crossing the finish line Saturday, for the big win!
The final 20% of the race, as paddlers approach Mobile Bay, is notorious for its unpredictable and challenging conditions, making that last stretch a true test of endurance and skill. The Great Alabama 650, which started with 20 boats – and 22 competitors on September 21st, has proven once again why it’s considered one of the toughest paddle races in the world. From mountain streams, and whitewater rapids in North Alabama, to the unforgiving bay waters in the south, the race pushed every competitor to their limits.
