Racers, registration for the Milk Carton Boat Race is open.
Submit only ONE application to sign up your whole team this year.
Talk to your friends, gather your crew, name your boat, and register.
Then plan your boat design and start collecting milk cartons.
Alpenrose will provide milk cartons to supplement the ones you gather to build your boat. You can pick them up at the Sellwood Community House and other locations.
Location addresses and pick up times coming soon.
If you are not entering a boat,
mark your calendar to cheer the racers
