๐Ÿฅ’ THE ULTIMATE RECOVERY FOOD HAS RETURNED ๐Ÿฅ’ Did you know that during the original Les Voyageurs Canoe Races, paddlers used to eat giant dill pickles to keep them going on the water? Since this year is our 100th Anniversary, weโ€™re bringing back this legendary tradition! When you cross the finish line after a long day on the river, bypass the usual snacks and go straight for the salt, crunch, and sodium boost your body is craving. Weโ€™ll have dill pickles waiting for every finisher at the end of each day! Will you be tackling the finish line pickle? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡ #RedRiverPaddleChallenge #RRPC #LesVoyageursChallenge #PicklePower by @redriverpaddlechallenge
