PW/Manhasset Bay Kayak Run Paddling around Manhasset Bay at the Port Washington-Manhasset Bay Kayak Run is not only a fun town event, but a win-win for everyone – the tax deductible entry fees go to the Community Chest, a 501(c)(3) organization that helps change the lives of Port Washington residents in need.
This annual event, now in its 12th year, is presented by the Town of North Hempstead and the Community Chest, with major assistance from Atlantic Outfitters. The family-friendly event begins at 10 am as participants take off in kayaks (or canoes and paddleboards) on Manhasset Bay. Participants paddle at their own pace, leisurely or full steam ahead, along the Bay’s five mile course, to designated locations where they check in. At 12:30 pm, paddlers go ashore to the Town Dock, where a raffle drawing is held. The lucky top prize winner receives a kayak, and many other prizes are given away.
Run Director and Community Chest board member, Joel Ziev said, “everyone is welcome, and no experience is necessary.”
Registration forms are available at the Town Dock, Atlantic Outfitters on Inspiration Wharf, West Marine, or at PortChest.org. Entry fees are, for adults: $25 ($45 day of) and under 21 years old: $5 ($25 day of).
Participants are welcome to bring their own kayak, canoe or paddleboard. Discounted kayak rentals are also available at Atlantic Outfitters. (To reserve a kayak call 767-2215.)
