In 2023, we launched our first Kayak Fun Run as a Beachfest event.
Participants paddled up the Big Otter in search of answers to the five questions related to the history of Port Burwell and the surrounding area. Kayakers had to locate five stations along the Big Otter where the answers were located. Once they had uncovered all five answers, they headed back to the Society's pavilion to participate in a draw for prizes.
The response we received from the participants was extremely positive as they enjoyed some Port Burwell summer fun, kayaking in East Elgin. As a result of this tremendous feedback we are making this an annual event.
Our 2024 event built upon the successes of 2023. Although the turn out was stunted by the threatening weather, those who participated had a great time.
Each year we do this, we gain from the experience and we incorporate new ways to improve the event.
We look forward to seeing you next year.
This year's Kayak Fun Run started at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
Those who participated had a great time on the Big Otter and afterwards chatting about the experience.
A big shout out to the Port Burwell Marina for letting our paddlers use their ramp to launch and retrieve their craft.
