Oar & Paddle Regatta
DATE: August 31
START TIME: 10:00am
CHECK IN: 9:00am
About The Race:
Every year ISK helps to host the Martha's Vineyard Oar and Paddle Regatta from our beach location in Sengekontacket pond. Swimmers and paddlers of all kind come together to race 2.4 miles and raise money for cleaner waters! The proceeds from the race go to Friends of Sengekontacket, who works to keep the water that we race in every year protected.
How It Works:
This year every racer will race together in one group, and will be competing against others in their category! The race will take place at 10:00am on race day. The winners from each category will be announced after all the races are completed.

Need A Boat?
Island Spirit Kayak is proud to donate our entire fleet of boats for the race! If you want to participate in this awesome race and use our equipment you can do so, we just ask that you give an extra donation of $40 per person.
All of our Single and double, and triple kayaks and all of our paddle boards will be available. If you want to use one for the race, please check the box during registration and add the extra donation.
Safety:
There will be safety kayakers at different points across the paddle route during the race. The race takes place in relatively calm and shallow waters. PFD's must be worn during the race.
What can I paddle?
Racers are welcome to paddle anything that floats. We usually have kayaks, paddle boards, swimmers, canoes, row boats, and the occasional bath tub! Everyone will race in different categories depending on your racing equipment.
