Online registration is open until midnight Wednesday. Participants may also register on race day.
The 3.2-mile kayak and paddle board race will be held 9 a.m.-1 p.m. beginning at Garner Park, 162 Oakleaf Drive, Pine Knoll Shores. A Warrior Trophy is awarded to the paddler or team that brings in the most donations.
Lunch is available for $10 per adult and $15 per family to those who prefer to support local veterans, military members and families, on land.
Saturday will mark the 19th annual race to raise funds that benefit Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit founded in 2006 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune by military spouses who “witnessed the urgent needs of service members returning from war with visible and invisible wounds.”
Kayak for the Warriors has raised more than $1.1 million for the program since 2008.
