Marblehead Rotary Club brings back The Great RaceMarblehead - The Marblehead Rotary Club is pleased to announce the second running of The Great Race Aug. 1. This event is a major component for the club’s fundraising, providing scholarships and camp opportunities for local children.
The race, which is open to any non-motorized water vessel, will start at Devereux Beach and end at Children’s Island. There will be categories for both rowed boats and paddled boats, and each category will have a “competitive” and “non-competitive” division. Competitive racers will compete for a first-place prize of $500, a second-place prize of $200 and a third-place prize of $100, all awarded in “Marblehead Dollars” to be used at participating establishments.
Non-racers are also invited to attend, with round-trip transportation provided by the Hannah Glover from State Street Landing.
On the island, there will be a full-menu cookout, concert entertainment provided by Boston rockers The Help (http://www.thehelphouse.com/) and special guest singer-songwriter phenom, young Hayley Reardon of Marblehead. There will also be an on-island auction featuring Red Sox tickets and more. Family swimming and games will also be available on the island.
