The historic Milton Theatre brings the drama outdoors at the "wild & wet" 12th Annual Canoe and Kayak Race to support the future of the theatre. This popular race invites both pros and amateurs to paddle 10 miles on the beautiful, unspoiled Broadkill River for the greater glory of personal accomplishment, a bit of recognition and a medal.

Check-in starts at 8:30 a.m. at the end of Oyster Rocks Rd. (Rd 264), which is the starting point for the race.  You may also register at this time but we recommend that you register in advance.  Click here for registration form The first 100 to register receive a free commemorative t-shirt!  The registration form has the classes and costs. 

Starting Point:  The race begins at 10:00 a.m. from the end of Oyster Rocks Rd.  There is a tiny parking area at the launch site.  However, it is much better if you arranged to be dropped off.      Map to Oyster Rocks Road

Finish:  The race ends at Milton's Memorial Park to the sound of thunderous applause and the presentation of medals! 

In Memorial Park, the Bargains on the Broadkill event will be taking place with plenty to keep fans and families entertained until (and well-after) the arrival of our paddlers.
