Beautiful weather last weekend brought out over 70 paddlers from Island Park, Oceanside, Long Beach and Rockville Centre for Empire Kayak’s 10th Annual Great Pumpkin Kayak Race.
This unique two-mile kayak race features a mid-race beaching of your kayak to grab a pumpkin then resume racing. Paul Furniss, of Levittown, was first overall with a time of 19 minutes and 50 seconds and his daughter, Jules, was the top women’s finisher.
Ryan Evans and Tracy Eiring took first place in the doubles category.
The post-race buffet of pumpkin pies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin ale along with other goodies made everyone happy they participated in the event.
