Lord of the Fork Race

Russell Fork Race History

Informal races on the Russell Fork were happening in the early 90's with Joe Greiner, Brent Austin, Chris Hipgrave, Mike Clark, and a few others. In 1995, it became a timed event. In the first Russell Fork Rendezvous Race, Jeff Snyder in a Wavehopper beat Chris Hipgrave by 19 seconds. This set the stage for a rivalry between the two that lasted several years. Jeff won again in 1996 and set the course record of 9:53. Controversy surrounded the 1997 race as Hipgrave edged out Snyder by 2 seconds, but some suggested that Hipgrave started a couple seconds early. Amy Brown set the women's course record that year at 12:00. In 1998, the water level was cut back from 1100 to 800, but times were still fast. Hipgrave once again beat the 10-minute mark with a time of 9:58. Andy Bridge, in one of the best C-1 race performances ever, beat all the kayakers except the three in Wavehoppers (Chris, Jeff, and Boone Brothers), setting the C-1 course record of 11:23. Jay Ditty's 10:57 shattered that record in 2007. Danny Inman and Chris Hipgrave traded off wins the next few years, until Tommy Hilleke came onto the scene, winning his first race in 2002. No one beat him through 2004. Tommy's fastest time is 10:17 in 2003. Robin Betz won her first women's division in 2004 and has one each year until 2008. Adrienne Levknecht set the women's course record in 2009 at 11:08. Keith Sprinkle set the hand paddling record in 2009 at 11:39.
In 2010 the course was shortened due to changes at Fist. Starting point is just below Fist at Skunk Beach.

The race was renamed 'The Lord of the Fork Race' in 2004 in memory of our brother Jon Lord, who died at Tower Falls in January, 2004.
