5K Run + 2-Mile Paddle

The race begins with a 5K Run along the flat, paved trails of Lake St. Clair Metropark. Racers will then transition to the 2-Mile Paddle and have the option to use a kayak or stand-up paddle board. All participants will receive a finisher medal and swag bag. There is a two hour time limit for this event. All runners must be in the transition zone within 45 minutes of the 5K start and on the water within an hour. After the two hour mark, the Sheriff's will tow you to shore.
