Details

This is very long, and very tough! We will have an observer at the 1/2 way point, Lodi State Park. We will also be available by phone, but please bring a support person of your own if you have one, in case you have to stop short on the western shore.

Halfway point - Lodi State Park - 16.3 Miles

Lodi State Park is on the water on the East side, 16.3 miles from the start.

Volunteers will attempt to spot you as you pass. You don't have to stop there or hug the east shore.
