TheElleStudio

We are pleased to announce our first platinum sponsor, TheElleStudio, will be providing photography services for the event and has committed to provide photos in digital format with printing rights to racers at no cost.

TheElleStudio provides photo-journalistic portraiture and event photography for the north Atlanta area focusing on photographic services rather than photographic products; the end result--the customers' digital negatives and printing rights--are theirs to keep at no additional expense. This uncaps the customers' ability to innovate with their photographs--allowing them to utilize online albums, to choose printing formats and mediums, and more.

Wenonah

We are pleased to announce our third platinum sponsor, Wenonah Canoe, will be providing us with a 17' Royalex Sundowner to give away to the racers.  This boat is widely known as one of the fastest "street-legal" canoes in adventure racing, and is consequently found on the Wenonah Racing website.  In addition to its speed, its length sits three plus gear comfortably.  We are very excited about Wenonah's partnership with us.

Established formally in 1968 in Winona, Minnesota, Wenonah Canoe has roots reaching back into the 1950's. The company is the outgrowth of a lifelong devotion to paddling by Mike Cichanowski, who began canoeing as a Boy Scout, and who began manufacturing canoes while still in college. Today, Wenonah Canoe and its Current Designs kayak brand place them among the largest makers of paddle sports boats in the world, with emphasis on ultra-light and high-performance models. Today, Wenonah remains among the few American paddlesports companies still owned by their founder.
