This is the name of our mixed gender composite teams at the Rusty Dragons. Composite teams are teams formed temporarily for a single event, and may or may not have practices included. As a result, anyone signing up for this team MUST have experience paddling with an existing team (their "home" team) in the months prior to the event.. These teams are for paddlers who want some extra races in their season on top of those already part of their existing regular home team. They are open to anyone, not just Rusties (in fact, we encourage others to join us)! You cannot join Motley Crew for an event if your home team is racing there.
2026 May 31 Update: We cancelled the Toronto Island opportunity for Motley Crew due to insufficient enrolment for a full team and the fact the event is just 2 weeks away. We'll help those who registered find another team to race with at the event.
- See FOUR different race opportunities below that are open to anyone from any team/club.
- Registration is separate for each event. You can register for any number of events.

We had a great week in San Juan. The Mixed team won silver and the women's team did better but came 4th in their higher division. Team members came from Toronto ON, Philadelphia PA, Atlanta GA, Boston MA, Chattanooga TN, Charlotte NC, Cleveland OH, and NJ and VT. We have already secured a mixed/women/open team for 2027. Besides racing, we had beach time in 26-30C, toured Old San Juan, paddled kayaks in dark in a bioluminescent bay, climbed a mountain in the El Yunque Rainforest, and had lots of great food. We love Puerto Rico! Join us next year.

Three 500m races, with potential for 2000m at end of day if we qualify.
This great end-of-season event will be attended by three other Rusty Dragons teams, so we will be there in force with over 100 athletes!
June 15: We switched this event from Christie Lake to Stratford as we want to support local Rotary Club events as well as the fact that three other Rusty Dragons teams will be there and we can cheer each other on. This team WILL happen!
