Chasing History on the Mississippi River - $27.95

“Chasing History on the Mississippi River” chronicles Rod’s epic adventure with three other teammates in their attempt to break an 18-year old world record for the fastest paddle down the 2,350-mile Mississippi River.

The hard-cover book records the entire history of paddling attempts down the Mississippi River, lots of trivia and 100 color photos.

“Chasing History on the Mississippi River” is the epic story of four paddlers in their attempt on one of the most grueling records in the paddling world. Price’s view from the boat is an invaluable contribution to history, and the lore of canoeing. But mostly, it’s a fun ride along on the team’s 2,350-mile journey from the Mississippi River’s headwaters to the Gulf of Mexico.” – Frank Bures, Author and Outside Magazine Writer

Racing Around Florida - $19.95

Join Rod Price On The Adventure Of A Lifetime!

After gaining international acclaim in 2009 for his victory in the Yukon 1000 – the world’s longest canoe race, Rod Price was looking for another challenge. He found it in his own backyard, the Ultimate Florida Challenge – a 1,200 mile smallboat circumnavigation of the Florida peninsula. Considered to be the toughest small-boat race on the planet, Challenge racers must have a proven background in multi-day endurance events just to enter the competition. Follow Rod’s amazing journey around the state as he paddles his Superior expedition canoe in harsh conditions that eliminate most of his competitors and discovers some of Florida’s hidden history. He canoes through the Everglades, across Biscayne Bay, up the east coast and into the “rivers stage” that features a forty-mile portage that threatens to end his race. Can Rod become the first canoer to complete North America’s two longest paddling races?

Racing Around Florida Book
Racing to the Yukon Book Cover

Racing to the Yukon - $19.95

Racing to the Yukon is much more than the tale of Rod Price’s adventure of entering the Yukon 1000, also known as the World’s Longest Canoe Race. Racing to the Yukon is a much longer story. It is a fun exploration of how Rod Price, fifty year old copy paper and ink cartridge seller managed to rekindle his young adult love of racing canoes. Rod travels throughout the world in a kind of “Have Paddle will Travel” fashion in some of the world’s most harsh albeit comical locations. And more importantly he does most of this after hitting the age of forty.

Racing to the Yukon begins with Rod Price’s revelation that he isn’t as young as he used to be, when he attempts a simple 12 mile canoe race at the age of forty. Ten years before Rod would have chewed up his competition in this kind of a race and suddenly he is working hard just to finish the race in last place. While driving home from that race Rod decides that he is too young at forty to be beaten, even if the other racers are far younger. Rod sets out to refind his racing form. This goal becomes a ten year exploration of heart and body as Rod fails often but occasionally triumphs. Eventually Rod is back in the best Canoe Racing shape of his life. But not before many lighthearted and inspirational challenges are met.
