Our race is intended to be fun for the advanced paddler as well as the beginner. All races begin in the water behind the shop and venture down the canal and into the Indian River Lagoon. The 6 mile Cove Race heads north for about 2 miles, then back to the shop paddling through mangrove islands, canal homes and the Vero Beach City Marina. The 3 mile Bridge Race course also begins in our canal, then south down the Indian River Lagoon towards the 17th St Bridge, around a marker and back to the shop to cross the finish line. The Kid's Race is a short race between two buoys in the protected canal behind our shop.

 

Race entry fee is $45 and increases to $55 the day of the race.

The intent of this event is to be a charitable, community building race.  With that in mind, we will not include age divisions in the different paddle craft classes unless attendance requires it.

The top 3 finishers in each class, with at least 5 participants, will be given awards.

Race check-in time is from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Racer's meeting at 8:30 will be mandatory for all participants. The Cove race begins at 9 a.m. and The Bridge race begins shortly after it. Lunch begins at 11:30. The awards and raffle will be immediately after lunch.
