"It's a great event and the money goes to a good cause," event coordinator Honey Dalton said. "It's a fun-filled day, and we have people there taking photographs of people at the finish line. There was someone else that did a kayak race and didn't make any money a few years back, but last year we were able to take the idea and make it work."
The race is approximately 8 miles long and is a timed event. The paddle is 2 miles and is not timed. All participants receive a T-shirt and are eligible for door prizes before the race. A limited number of kayak rentals will be available.
