Event Description

Find us on FB under Friends of the Greenfield House.

The Kayak portion of the race begins in the beautiful Athens Mill Pond, at John Wilson Park.  Participants will paddle approximately 3/4 of a mile up the man made tail race where you’ll portage down to the Nottawa River, and right back into John Wilson Park in the brisk river’s current. For beginners, this is the point where you can exit the kayak race right where you started, or decide to continue on.  You’ve basically completed a large loop.  If you decide that you’re up to the challenge, you’ll then kayak 4.5 miles West out to the confluence of Pine Creek, and on to the NHBP Reservation where your bicycle will be waiting for you.  
The bicycle leg of the event is 8.9 miles and winds through the beautiful Reservation, out into the countryside, finishing in the Village of Athens near the Greenfield House, where refreshments will be waiting for you.
