2nd Annual Long Island Kayakathon - Paddle to a Healthier World
Location: Peconic River, Riverhead
Kayakathon Registration Form
Today's EVENT was a GREAT SUCCESS! The weather was perfect from morning until we folded up the last tent and drove away the last kayak! And then it was allowed to rain! We paddled 5 miles to Iron Point (or participated in a guided paddle), stopped to participate in a community service project hosted by Peconic Baykeeper, and returned to listen to music, get a massage and do reiki, eat lunch (sponsored by Whole Foods and Aquarius Spring), and network with friends.
Check Out some pictures. Check out Photographer Joe Dlhopolsky's photos. Join us next year!
The event is ON for Saturday, June 20th! However, we are modifying some of the times to beat any midday rain that is predicted. See information below.
