ABC Events, Inc. is proud to announce the
1st Annual Bay Bridge
Paddle brought to you
by
Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy!
Water enthusiasts of all ages and expertise are invited to join us in
the first inaugural Bay Bridge Paddle, open to Stand Up Paddleboards, Kayaks
and other paddle craft. Paddling any part of the Chesapeake Bay waters is a thrilling
experience and launching from Sandy Point State Park is no different. With a
beautiful sandy beach on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, you are
provided with expansive views overlooking the Bay Bridge. This race will bring together all levels of
paddlers to share in a day of camaraderie and fellowship. Each race will
present a different experience and challenge, the bay’s shifting conditions add
to the fun as racers can experience anything from flat water glides to gusty
winds and unpredictable swell and tides from the wind and current.
The
Elite 9 mile Crossing will challenge racers with a high level of fitness and
paddling experience; racers with less experience or conditioning can enjoy the 5K Paddle or the 1.5K recreation course closer to shore. In addition to these races, there will be other
memorable events to entertain everyone, and with the generous backing of our
sponsors, there will be over $7,000 in
prizes and cash awarded!
All race participants receive a commemorative
T-shirt and a carb-loaded breakfast to help get you energized for the
race. When you return from the race and are ready to refuel, you
will also receive a complimentary delicious, fresh, healthy lunch
package. (Breakfast sponsored by Naval Bagels and lunch provided by
Fresh Market) There will be other breakfast and lunch food items for
sale for all attendees during the event.
Celebration and awards
will be held immediately following the event at Sandy Point or at convenient
location nearby.
