East End Race Series #1

The East End Race Series is a ten-week series of friendly competitions for kayakers and paddleboarders, with races scheduled every Monday evening, the first week of July through the first week of September!
The first nine weeks will be our regular evening series, with a tenth finale event on Labor Day afternoon (the first Monday in September). We encourage both “serious” racers and more casual paddlers to join the fun. It’s a great way to connect with other paddlers, train your paddling muscles, and enjoy an evening paddle on beautiful Casco Bay!
