Details

Gull Park to Waterfront Pizza - 2.4 miles

Catamaran Park - 1.3 miles


https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43164675?highlight=0-15


We will meet at Waterfront Pizza at 8:00 am to consolidate cars. All Dry Bags should be left there. Then we will drive to Gull Park in time for an 8:30 am start


Water support will meet us at Gull Park ready to go by 8:30 am


There will be an aid "station" at Catamaran Park -- at about 1.3 miles -- for people who (a) want to eat and drink something on the way or (b) don't feel comfortable swimming the whole distance. SAG to Waterfront Pizza will be provided for those who want to stop here


We will use a rolling start system, but people are encouraged to buddy up. No official times will be kept. This is not a race!


The goal is for everyone to finish at the same time, around 11:00-11:15 am.


Waterfront Pizza opens at 11:30. This gives us about 15-30 minutes to change and freshen up. We are allowed to sit on the deck before Waterfront Pizza opens, but not order food (as the cash registers will not be ready).


Waterfront Pizza serves both pizza and Greek/Mediterranean Food. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. They also have hookahs! https://waterfrontpizza.com/ Lunch is “on your own.”


Volunteers

We need volunteers to: 

  • Provide water support (must have your own kayak or SUP)

  • Run the aid station at Catamaran Park including driving people back from there

Guests

Friends and family who don’t want to swim (or volunteer) are encouraged to sign up too. We need moral support and help eating pizza. Cowbells are strongly encouraged!
