Can you Race the Narrows?
Join us for a fun two mile recreational race through the Narrows Bay and up Pattersquash Creek in the small town of Mastic Beach on the South Shore of Long Island. All self powered craft are welcome and there will be different heats for crafts and ability. Races are for 14+. The race ends in Bayview Park where we’ll be celebrating with Bash by the Bay — an afternoon of music, food and activities for kids. All proceeds will go to support the Mastic Beach Conservancy’s mission to create a beautiful six mile contiguous waterfront park.
