The race course will start and end in front of Wades Beach on Shelter Island. The course will proceed in a clockwise direction to the southwest-northwest, and encompass a complete circumnavigation of Shelter Island, a total distance estimated at 19.5 miles. Chase boats and timing will finish after 7 hours. All paddlers will be asked to paddle to a designated extraction point and be transported back to Wades Beach via our support vehicle if they haven't finished by that time.

Participants may elect to paddle a shorter course –  about 6 miles – or team up in a two person relay, breaking the course up into two legs. The first relay leg will end at Menhaden Lane and the second leg ends at Wades Beach.

Weather conditions will be assessed on race day to determine whether an alternate course is needed.

Alternate 1: Partial Course, West Side: Should there be heavy east or northeast winds, we will modify the standard course to a west side partial circumnavigation. The course will run Wades Beach clockwise to Hiberry Lane and back, finishing at Wades Beach.

Alternate 2: Partial Course, East Side: Should there be heavy west or southwest winds, we will modify the standard course to a west side partial circumnavigation. The course will run from the Wades Beach clockwise to the east, and finish at Menhaden Lane on the east side of Shelter Island.

Note: Courses may be adjusted depending on weather conditions.
