10:15am – Races begin. We will start with the Kids Race. The longer distance races will each begin successively starting with the 12-mile, then the 6-mile, and ending with the 4-mile race. Awards will be given afterward at the BBQ lunch on the beach.

Would you like to race, but do not have your own canoe/kayak? Call ahead (by Friday June 23rd) to request to borrow a watercraft!
