Race Location and Where to Launch Your Boat:

• Both races start and finish from the Latitude 48 docks located in Village marina at the end of Herald Street behind Value Village.
• However, recent changes at Village Marina (L48 docks) make it more challenging to safely carry your boat down the ramp.
• Out of town paddlers should launch at Songhees park, next to the Delta Ocean Pointe Hotel, then paddle north under the Johnson Street bridge to the L48 docks. There is lots of free parking in the area. https://maps.app.goo.gl/79bQwsjign2cQxiPA
