Goat Boater Race Series #4 of 6 - Pirate Treasure (Choose your own path) 6K
The Pirate Race might be the most fun and thought provoking of the series!
Minutes before the race you will get your treasure map to the 4 locations containing your treasures! Best part, you choose your own course to collect all 4 of your treasure coins! To make matters even more exciting the pirates included a few special coins at each location containing their own significance!
We will start at Windjammer beach with a beach start out through the two starting buoys then its up to you to decide which way you want to go to all 4 locations. On your way back in you must go through the two starting buoys again and run up the sand for your beach photo finish! Beware! Before finishing you must have all 4 coins or you will be disqualified. Your total distance paddled should be around 6K.
The Pirate Rec Fun Run will be a 1 Mile course that still gives paddlers the decision of where they want to go first. Collect two coins and back to the finish! This is a great course for having fun with friends and/or getting your feet wet in your first race. All are welcome and encouraged to sign up with your family and kids!
All Goat Boater Races are SUP only event. There will be no other kayaks, OC's or other crafts to dodge.
Windjammer offers great views for you and your family to watch the race and enjoy some beautiful views of Lake Wylie.
The Goat Boater Race series is unique in many ways. Most notably our 1 mile social paddle directly after the race for all paddlers and guests.
