Participants will be transported to Vinegar Ferry Road for the 8:30 a.m. start time. The course takes runners along the Susquehanna River via the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail and through the streets of Marietta. The run portion of the event ends at the Marietta Boat Launch. There, runners will take to the river aboard a kayak and finish downstream at the Columbia River Park. Offered again this year is the option to enter as a team with one participant handling the running portion while the other takes on the kayaking duties.
This annual event is held rain or shine. It is made possible through the Gold Sponsorship of Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority and the sponsorships of additional businesses listed on our website.
Pre-registration is required to participate in the Chiques Challenge. This year’s event is limited to 150 participants. Participants must be at least 16 years old. Registrants need to provide their own kayak, but may contact Shank’s Mare or Chickies Rock Outfitters for assistance with kayaks. All participants are required to wear a life vest at all times during the kayaking leg and to be equipped with a whistle.
