Chocolate / Cookie Bowl Canoe / Kayak / SUP Races

01/11/2024

Gary and I are no longer the organizers of these races. We "retired" after 30+ years a few years ago. Please consider this an archived site, though the races still go on.

08/20/2020

With regret, we have concluded that we cannot safely hold the Cookie Bowl in today's COVID world. We look forward to seeing you next year.

07/17/2020

With regrets, we have cancelled this year's Chocolate Bowl race. We are limited to 25 boats, which, among other logistical issues due to COVID, makes it too problematic. The Cookie Bowl is still under consideration.
