Columbia Cup

Transportation to the events is provided by Ben Franklin Transit.

This article is for those of us that just don't get it.

This is the first time we can ever remember racing being halted-postponed due to milfoil on the Columbia River.

Who hasn't encountered the ugly slimy stuff when wading or swimming in Columbia or other rivers?

Back with a thundering crescendo, watch the H 1 Unlimited Hydroplanes walk the sponsons and race deck to deck.

Here's how the Columbia Cup will be run

Crowds in the 70's exceeded 70-75K, there are reports one year of close to 100K; in 2011 organizers said 65,000 was a record crowd for a Saturday.

The event brings over 65,000 spectators to watch the hydroplanes and airplanes in the air but this year it's not going to happen due to the lingering effects of the pandemic.

Organizers didn't elaborate with a lot of specific details, but said the Columbia Cup cannot run as it 'normally' would under Phase 3 conditions.

Tentative schedule.
