Come out and enjoy nature while benefiting the Turtles of Tybee Island.
On June 4th, there will be three races and LOTS of ways to participate in the Sea Kayak Races.
The Tybee River Race is 6 1/2 miles on the back river separating Tybee and Little Tybee.
The Little Tybee challenge, about 8 miles, circumnavigates part of Little Tybee, passing through narrow tidal creeks, broad tidal rivers, open coastal areas and two surf zones.
The Race Across the River is for Gold Sponsor representatives who compete for a grand prize for the Gold Sponsor’s business or group.
This year, for the first time, you can participate in the River Race as a casual paddler–not a racer. Paddle 2 miles for the cause. If you don’t have a kayak, add $20 to your registration fee and use one of ours.
Also new this year will be a drawing for a Perception Impulse 10.0 kayak plus paddle donated by Half-Moon Outfitters. There will be three ways to get tickets: 1 ticket will be given per registration; extra tickets will be given to the race winners; and one can purchase tickets in $5, $10 or $20 lots.
WE NEED HELP. We could use volunteers for the race and to help spread the word about it. Go to www.tybeekayakrace.org or contact Debbie at tybeekayakraces@gmail.com or call 912.844.7817.
