START: 7:00am

Entry Fees: Individual: w/kayak-$100; Indvl without kayak-$120; Relay-$150

Kayak

The Start will be split into three Waves . Racers will make a water start in the Severn River off Bembe Beach and paddle 1 mile around three buoys and finish back at shore. Racers will then transition to their bikes in the Annapolis Sailing School parking lot. Shoes are recommended.

Bike

The 17.1 mile loop course is on paved, flat residential roads. The bike will proceed through the bayside communities including Arundel on the Bay and Bay Ridge. Racers will enjoy the bay setting and a view of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay. Roads will be open to traffic and there is a chance riders may be stopped at the main community intersection to prevent excessive traffic backup.

Run

The 3.1 mile run is a scenic out and back run through Back Creek Park. Finish in style, where your fans and cold refreshments will be waiting.

Race Divisions Include: Male & Female ages: 15 & Under, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+. Relay Teams must be made up of two or three participating members. Awards will be offered to the overall top 3 for both men and women and overall top 3 for teams. The awards ceremony will start at 12 pm.

There will be a cutoff for official race results with the race time limit of 2 hours and 40 minutes. At 2 hours and 40 minutes the official timed finish line will shut down. A time clock will continue running for all participants that finish after the time cutoff. It is hoped that all participants will finish the race in less than 2 hours and 40 minutes from their kayak start time.

Also, we need volunteers to help out for the event. Please contact Schuyler Engelhardt @ 410.206.0954 if you would be interested in lending a hand.

Volunteers will need to show up at least 1 hour before start of the race.
