Join the Party and enter the Friend's annual Canoe and Kayak Paddle! (Also known as "Spotter's Sprint") This is open for both casual and competitive paddlers.  You don't want to miss out on this fun and exciting event!  It is the only one of it's kind in the area.

It happens on August 21, 2011 at 10:30 in the morning at the State YMCA Camp in East Winthrop, Maine.  You will want to get there early to get your race package and on-site registration.

Spotter's Sprint is a 1.5+ mile course off the Western Shore of picturesque Lake Cobbosseecontee.  The race is open to all casual and competitive paddlers, and there are awards in 30 different category combinations.  All paddlers must wear an approved PFD while in the water. There are no exceptions to this important rule.  Volunteers will be stationed by boat along the course, and the YMCA has ample parking facilities for participants and spectators.

A cookout provided by the YMCA Camp Staff will follow the awards ceremony and is included in the registration fee for all contestants. Spectators are also welcome to attend the cookout for $6/pp and there is no pre-registration required.

Sprague & Curtis Real Estate will be sponsoring this event again this year!
