HOW TO PLAY
1
Form teams of about five and assign each team a canoe.
2
At the start signal, teams push their canoe across the icy or slushy course, running alongside it.
3
When the surface becomes too soft or wet to run on, teammates hop into the canoe and paddle across that stretch together.
4
As soon as solid footing returns, teammates jump back out and resume pushing and running.
5
Teams repeat this push-paddle-push pattern until they cross the finish line.
6
The first team to complete the full course with their canoe wins.
