Western Region Championship
January 3 – 4, 2026
NOTICE OF RACE
Via Western Region Commodore Tim Mower:

Ice checks are underway in Minnesota, Wisconsin, the southern UP of Michigan, and surrounding areas. After the snow event that hit Minnesota and Wisconsin yesterday and moved east today, many locations received too much snow to be viable.

At this point, the Madison, WI lakes, Lake Kegonsa and Lake Monona, are looking the most promising for the Western Region Championships.

A final decision will be made Wednesday or no later than Thursday.

The next update will be posted by Thursday, January 1.

Get your runners sharpened. Or at least knock the rust off.

The Notice of Race for the 2026 DN Central Region Championship is now posted. See it here

The Central Region includes Michigan and Ohio.

This is a non-ranking regatta and a solid way to get ready for the 2026 DN North American and U.S. National Championships.

If you look up at the sky, you might imagine a very large Zamboni rumbling its way across the Midwest, which should be good news for lakes in Michigan.

Official regatta information, site updates, and registration details will be posted at idniyra.org.

Reminder: the 2026 DN North American and U.S. National Championship early registration deadline to save $50 is fast approaching. Register here.
