Weeks Bay Foundation Pelican Paddle Aug. 4

Get your paddling arms ready to work! The Weeks Bay Foundation will host the 6th annual Pelican Paddle, a canoe, kayak, and paddle board race, on Saturday, August 4, on beautiful Weeks Bay.
Pelican Paddle is a fun, family-oriented, 3.5-mile race that’s open to all ages and skill levels. Plus, there’s a seven-mile pro option for the serious paddlers, and a non-competitive Eco-tour of Weeks Bay that includes a guided paddle to a Bald Eagle nest.
Race divisions are: Men’s Kayak, Women’s Kayak, Junior Kayak, Pro Kayak, Men’s Stand Up Paddle Board, Women’s Stand Up Paddle Board, Tandem Craft, and Non-Traditional (single canoes, pedal kayaks, etc.). The race begins at 9 a.m., and the Eco-tour begins shortly after.
Advance registration is $30 per paddler or $70 per family. Day-of-race registration is $35 per paddler and $85 per family. A family can include up to two adults and up to four minors under age 18. The first 200 people to register will receive a reusable, steel water bottle. All registrants (21 and over) will receive drink tickets for two complimentary Serda Brewing beers.
Loaner gear will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis, but must be reserved in advance. Participants interested in borrowing gear must call the Foundation at 251-990-5004. For more information and to register, call 251-990-5004, or register at weeksbay.org/events.
