1. Is the CCBC a race? No, the CCBC is not a race. It is an endurance challenge to raise funds for a great
cause...Christopher's Haven - a home for kids when cancer hits home.
2. How long does the event take to complete? It's somewhat dependent on the conditions of the day but usually between 7 and 10 hours.
3. Is there an alternate date? Yes, Sunday August 15th. If necessary, and if conditions require it, we may alter the course to a near shore route.
4. What is the CCBC all about? In a few words...hope,
inspiration, and overcoming obstacles. The CCBC is all about facing personal challenges and beating them. It's not a race but it is about crossing the finish line. Christopher's Haven is a place for kids to call home
when cancer strikes them. The CCBC raises funds in support of the Haven's mission.
5. What happens if I can't keep up? This year we will be incorporating staggered starts into the event but each group will need to
stay together for safety reasons. So long as you train appropriately, have a good understanding of what pace you are comfortable with and get into the correct group, it shouldn't be a problem. We will have a pace boat
leading each group and a support boat following. If you do fall behind, the support boat will pick you up and bring you to the front of your group once you are ready to begin again.
6. What are the financial
obligations? We've kept the financial requirements low to make sure the event is within reach of anyone that wants to join in and is physically capable of doing it. The registration fee is $75 and goes towards the minimum
donation requirement of $500. We are hoping that everyone raises well in excess of the minimum. Last year, the average per paddler was $1,550 and we would really love to beat that this year. Remember why we are doing
this -- the kids and their families really need our support.
7. Is a personal flotation device required? Yes a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD is required to be either worn or attached to your board.
