Our recreational and kids race will follow the elite race and the morning will finish up with sprints between the docks for all participants.
Driven and deeply rooted in our beliefs, we know that we are happiest when we are helping others. This year we are overly excited to celebrate some of our favorite charities by giving back. Our featured charities will include, Share the Stoke, Surfers for Autism and The American Cancer Society.
