Post by nsrwa »

The North & South River’s Watershed Association’s 24th Annual Great River Race on the North River will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2014

This is your opportunity to paddle the beautiful North River! For a fun-filled, challenging day on the water, nothing beats the Great River Race, generously sponsored by Scituate Federal Savings Bank and other local businesses.

All skill levels, from novice to racer, are invited to take part in the race. Non-motorized vessels including canoes, kayaks, and rowboats participate in the race piloted by people of all ages. (Participants 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.) Other categories include best decorated boat or boater, family canoe, men’s and woman’s double and single canoe, senior citizens divisions, single men’s and women’s kayak, and dories of all kinds. The race is fun, challenging and a great way as an individual, or with friends and family, to enjoy the rivers and support the NSRWA. Registration will begin at the Union St. Bridge in Norwell at 9:00 am and close at 10:30 am. The race will start at 10:30 am.

NSRWA Staff ecologist, Sara Grady, will be swimming the 7 ½ mile race course to raise awareness and additional funds for the Association.

Post race Awards Celebration will begin at 1:30 pm at McGreal’s Tavern on West St. in Norwell Center.
