Due to high surf after the storm we again need to postpone. But we are giving it one more try! Oct 15. Registration begins at 11. Race will be at 2pm. In the event of a third strike of bad weather, the race will be cancelled until next year BUT we will still have the after party at Martell’s! You can pickup your T-Shirts/Sweatshirts, other merch/gear and party into the night in a final goodbye to the summer season!
