Yeo there's been plenty of 26-30's in the past. The water is rough at the start during the parade up to the bridge but then when at speed its all calm water.

Im just a Va. boy, so not too familiar with the area. This run has always had my interest when it used to be ran. Would y'all mind giving me some logistics, such as where the run starts and goes, distance, Where would you put in and where would you stay? Thanks
