Get ready to paddle and row 15 miles across some of Rhode Island's most stunning coastal landmarks—Fort Adams, Newport Harbor, and Point Judith Lighthouse—in this competitive navigation challenge that attracts skilled paddlers and rowers from all over the country. The event runs between Fort Adams Beach in Newport Harbor and Roger Wheeler State Beach in Point Judith, with the actual direction depending on weather conditions (though Point Judith to Newport is preferred).
