From the Organizer

You have reached the 2012 Lighthouse to Lighthouse Registration page. For 2013 information & to sign up, please visit the 2013 L2L Registration page.

The course, starting by Shady Beach in Norwalk, will go around Sprite Island, go around Pecks Ledge Lighthouse, head south to Greens Ledge Lighthouse and come back along the same course to finish in front of ShadyBeach (see chart). The race is approximately 14 miles. The race is open to all seaworthy human powered vessels.

The 7 mile course option follows the same route, only half-way. The turnaround will be a large orange inflatable bema buoy in back of Copps Island.
