Front of Yonge Paddle Poker Run

et your paddles ready for a fun event on the beautiful waters of the St. Lawrence River! The Township of Front of Yonge is hosting the fourth annual Paddle Poker Run on Saturday September 14th 2024 at Brown’s Bay.

The Paddle Poker Run is an event that encourages people to get outside to celebrate and enjoy the St. Lawrence River. All river-appropriate paddle craft are welcome (kayak, canoe, etc.) This is not a race, but a fun paddle that all ages and abilities can enjoy. Each paddler will follow a route beginning at Brown’s Bay that includes at least five stops or check points where they will draw a playing card. After the paddle, there will be prizes for the best poker hand. There will be routes set up for beginners and for experienced paddlers ranging from 5km to 10km. New this year, open river swimmers are welcome to participate, and an optional kayaking safety demonstration will be offered on the morning of the event.

Registration is limited, so please register online today at https://mallorytown.ca/paddle-poker-run-september-14th/
