Paddlers will launch from Cove Island Park in Stamford and the beaches in Darien, journeying around Shippan Point to the Cohen SoundWaters Harbor Center at Boccuzzi Park, where a beach party awaits with music, lunch and camaraderie. The route is designed to be achievable for a wide range of ages and skill levels, with kayak guides and support boats on the water to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. For most paddlers, the course should take two hours or less. Participants can bring their own kayak or paddleboard or rent equipment through SoundWaters during registration.
