ANNAPOLIS, MD — Water enthusiasts of all ages and expertise are invited on Saturday, June 1, to the Bay Bridge Paddle, open to stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and other paddle craft. The event will take place at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis.

This race will bring together all levels of paddlers to share in a day of camaraderie and fellowship. Each race will present a different experience and challenge; the bay’s shifting conditions add to the fun as racers can experience anything from flat water glides to gusty winds and unpredictable swell and tides from the wind and current.

The Elite Crossing will challenge racers with a high level of fitness and paddling experience; racers with less experience or conditioning can enjoy the Intermediate Paddle or the Recreational course closer to shore.
