The Course
The course starts at the Newburgh Rowing Club's Boathouse, at the Ward Brothers Memorial Park, 2 River Street. This is a challenge not a race. A short one mile course will be available. The course will start and end at a buoy just a few feet north of the NRC boat docks in front of the Dave Tamas memorial pavilion. All participants in each race will head north along the shoreline passing by Ward Brothers Park, The water treatment plant, and the People’s Park of Newburgh. There will be a second buoy in front of the city of Newburgh boat launch all participants should pass around the buoy and travel back south along the shoreline towards the NRC docks. Take care to look out for any boats traveling north on the course behind them.

There will be a Pancake Breakfast and Event T-Shirt for all participants. In addition, there will be medals for top times and prizes for the top female kayak time (overall) and top male kayak time (overall).

This event is a fundraiser to support and increase public access to the Ward Brothers Memorial Park, a city of Newburgh park, where the Newburgh Rowing Club is situated, Shoreline Restoration, and the clean water projects of the Newburgh Rowing Club, including scholarships for free and reduce cost youth rowing, Plastic Free Hudson River, and more.
