In response to a few pm's about how the event works:

The 24 hour marathon portion is non competitive but we have a box of smaller prizes we hand out through the night for those catching fish. The competitive portion of the event will be like any other derby with a scale and a number of prizes for largest fish caught. We also have an inexpensive family portion of the event with three family/kids prize baskets for fish caught. There are a number of kids activities , mascots, etc. The best prizes are for pledge earners(after all it is a fundraiser). When you register for the 24 hour event you will be sent a pledge sheet. Your entry of $50 entitles you to a dinner voucher, a breakfast voucher and one ticket towards the pledge earner prizes. For every $25 raised above that you get another ticket. so basically the more you raise,the more chances to win these prizes.You can bring your own shelter or fish in the main event tent. This is a really casual and easy going event and meant to be more fun and comraderie than competition. We also have a short fish-off for media/celebrity and the winner of this event has their name on a trophy that is kept for a year. Past winners included Gord Leclerc(CKY)/Ryan Johnson, Chris Cvetkovic(Blue Bombers)/ Craig Stapon(CJOB), Jon Lundberg (City TV)/ Todd Longley (Citycats) as well as Lyle Bauer (Blue Bombers). We are still compiling our sponsorships and prize lists so more on that later. Please PM me for more information or visit our website at www.walleyewarriormarathon.com

My wife kids and I drove 8 hours south to attend this derby last year, I hope to see more support from locals this next derby, its nice to mingle with the guys you see on these forums, come out and support a good cause, if we can drive 8 hours I'm sure you can drive 30 minutes and attend this

[fishinfirefighter]

I'm going to miss the derby this year unfortunatly. The wife is makeing me to the Dominican for our honeymoon.
I made out the marathon the last 2 years and had an absolute blast each year. It's become one of the highlights of the ice season for me. Good times, great people, tons of fun. Just don't fall asleep in the big tent lol.

[fishncamp]

We will miss you there this year..enjoy your holiday.

The Grand Prize for the competitive event will be an ultimate ice fishing package which includes a Deluxe Clam Ice shelter, an Eskimo 43cc ice auger, a Humminbird Ice -45 Flasher as well as two pails full of ice combos, tackle, heater, etc. The total value of this prize will exceed $2000 in value. The entry at this point will be $30 for those who just want to take part in this derby and $20 for those registered for the 24 Hour Marathon and will be taken at the site.This will be run on saturday. There will be other prizes as well for this event. More to come  

It will run from noon till 3pm on Saturday February 27th.

As everyone here knows the access to the river from Selkirk Park has been closed for the remainder of the season. After a meeting in Selkirk today I am happy to inform the participants that we are guaranteed cleared pedestrian access and if the work continues to proceed on schedule and weather remains co-operative we will also have a vehicular access around the immediate work area. The vehicular access confirmation is subject to another evaluation one week from today. This is promising news for the organizing committee and volunteers. 

 

[MNTMAN12]

Would it be ok to drive on from say CIL or flaot plane base if there is no vehicle access Glen?

This will become Plan "B" for many Mike if there is no actual vehicle access right at the site.Another option would to come up to the site from Hydro Park at the Old bridge.Shouldn't be too difficult for most vehicles from these locations if conditions stay the way they are.Practiced my bombing through the thick stuff earlier today North of EOM.Let's just say it was a little interesting

[fishncamp]

The pedestrian access is guaranteed. Next access for vehicles is from the FPB and it was not too bad lately.

[fishncamp]

We have access to bring items to the site, participants with mobility issues, and for participants to unload gear. We are also doing this:
