Candice Appleby is organizing the GBB:

The course starts and finishes at Baby Beach. It’s designed to test it all: the flatwater stretch through the harbor challenges pure speed, while rounding the breakwater and heading out to the Green Buoy demands ocean skills, stamina, and endurance.

Here’s what’s in store:
Single Run (3.5 miles): The perfect entry point for newer paddlers stepping into the ocean stage — or for seasoned legends who don’t need to prove themselves on the long course, but still want to throw down in the Battle. A safe, structured way to claim the milestone of rounding the Green Buoy.
Double Run (7 miles): Two laps means two separate race starts, with combined times determining the results. This format pushes racers to pace themselves, recover between heats, and bring strategy as much as strength.

Awards & After Party at Hennessy’s Tavern: Fastest single run of the day will be recognized for each paddlecraft (SUP, Prone, OC1), with separate honors for men and women. Only Double Run paddlers are eligible — so if you want a shot at glory, the challenge is clear. Then we’ll raise a glass together at Hennessy’s Tavern to celebrate a new tradition.

$45 entry fee includes: race, t-shirt, goodie bag, meal, and raffle tickets
