Save the Sound in Larchmont, New York, is back for its ninth year of Paddle for the Sound. Whether you’re in for a leisurely paddle or looking to test your limits in a kayak or canoe competition, there’s something for everyone throughout the event. Participants will track their paddling distance and raise vital funds to protect the Sound and its rivers, restore local ecosystems, combat climate change and conserve endangered lands.
From July 12 to 21, take to the water with your favorite activity tracker turned on. Registered participants will paddle from self-selected launch points or participate in group paddles, tracking their miles with each excursion and sending them to the Paddle for the Sound team, who will compile the results.
Winners in first, second, and third place for Total Distance Paddled over the duration of the event (July 12-21) will be eligible to win a prize package. There is also a Photo Contest for any participants who share photos or videos on Instagram and tag @cfe.savethesound and #PaddlefortheSound. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses like Outdoor Sports, Patagonia, Bass Pro Shops, cinder + salt, Ben & Jerry’s and Urban Lodge Brewery, prize packages have a combined value of over $1,000.
Participants can register up until the last day of the event, July 21, by visiting Save the Sound’s Paddle page.
