Ready to Race the Gowanus Canal?

If you’ve ever dreamed of growing a second head, now’s your chance!

Our friends over at DNA report that The Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club will be hosting a fundraising boat race on June 15…in the Gowanus Canal.

The race’s 2.5-mile course will start and end at the Gowanus Dredger’s boathouse off Second Street. Racers will guide their vessels through the heavily polluted canal to the mouth of New York Harbor, where they’ll maneuver around a buoy with a view of the Statue of Liberty, then race back to the boathouse.

Interested? Email gdredgers@gmail.com with your team name, and begin collecting pledges. Be sure to include your team name in the designation section for each donation. Money raised will benefit the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club.
