Welcome back to the 2022 "Great Peconic Race."

After a 2-year, Covid-mandated hiatus we are proud to be back in action! All paddle and rowing crafts are welcome --- SUPs, Surf Skis, OC1 – OC6, Kayaks, Coastal Rowers, and Prone Paddle Boards. The event will start and finish at Wades Beach @ <https://goo.gl/maps/KPyKAs8rQ3om61Sb7> on the south side of Shelter Island.

NOTE: If you've not done so, please visit our website <http://greatpeconicrace.com/> for additional information and important updates, course maps, beach parking info, and photos from past GPRs.

This is a paddle / rowing craft race, in which participants can expect open bay conditions, including at times strong currents and any host of wind/wave conditions. There is no rain date; alternate courses are in place should there be rough or foggy conditions.

*** NOTE: This is an advanced paddle long-distance race. DO NOT register if you do not have experience in finishing distance races. You must complete the course around Shelter Island within 6 hours. We will NOT have support boats past that time period and will NOT have support at Wades Beach either. Please, DO NOT register if you can’t paddle 19 miles in less than 6 hours.

*** N0TE: Due to timing and location restrictions this year's " GPR " is being strictly limited to 50 participants and 45 parking spaces! Please try to car pool if at all possible. Your registration fee includes one Town-issued Wades Beach parking permit for the day of the race.

*** NOTE: Please be aware there will be absolutely NO SAME DAY REGISTRATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
