It's back!!!! After a great time in 2017, we are doing it again. To keep the great vibe and fun atmosphere going,.
This is a great race for all levels from beginner to elite so if you ever wanted to try racing or just join something new, this is the event for you. ......and we promise....the t-shirt will be cool. Try our 1 mile fun race or challenge yourself and try the 3 or 6 mile course. Our 12 mile elite course will travel from NY to NJ and back to NY... A relay race will follow after our 12 milers come in.
The after party will then begin when the racers are in where food and a soft drink (water will be available to everyone at no cost) will be provided with race entry. Additional bracelets can be purchased either here on Paddle Guru or on the day of the event for non-racers.
Alcoholic beverages are BYOB or, AFTER the race as a beer truck will be available
