In 2006 Alex Kovach and his dad, Andrew, finished the last Great Canoe Race. At the end of the race, Alex said “It was grueling and hard. At the end of the race, I said to myself, I will never do that again. It was so much work.” For 26 years, competitive paddlers from all over the Northwest and beyond had descended on Soap Lake, Washington for a challenging 17.5 mile—five lake—paddle and portage. It was thought that nothing like it could ever be organized again. But, as Soap Lake's Centennial approached, it seemed important to include recognition of the Great Canoe Race's place in Soap Lake's history. Find out why Alex changed his mind and decided to spearhead the Great Soap Lake Adventure Paddle (Great SLAP) here.
