Waterways were the highways of the Adirondacks, so residents have a historical connection to canoeing and kayaking, said Hai. The event connects people with the region's history and opens up a way to enjoy the landscape.
The race costs $20 per participant, with the money used to cover the event's expenses and purchase liability insurance for the organizers.
