Established in 1994, the Calypso’s Cove Charity Go-Kart Race seeks to raise money within the community for local charities, organizations and families in need.
Since its inception, the Go-Kart race has raised over $170,000. This event brings local businesses together to vie for the coveted trophy and to work together as a community for worthy causes.
The 18th Annual Calypso’s Cove Charity Go-Kart Race will take place on Tuesday, September 13. A rain date is set for Thursday, September 15.
The beneficiaries this year include the Friends of the Polar Bears, to aid their effort of purchasing a yurt for McCauley Mountain, and MAC’s Safe Ride, to aid in the effort to purchase a larger van.
All are encouraged to come out to the race and support the local community and these two worthy causes.
Gates will open at 5 p.m. with racing to begin at 5:30 p.m. sharp. The entry fee for a team of five racers is $225. Each racer will drive in two heats.
The entry fee covers the cost of admission, food and beverage for the race team. Team leaders should send their check for $225 and a list of five racers to Calypso’s Cove Charity Go-Kart Race, 3183 State Route 28, Old Forge, NY 13420.
The deadline for entry is 5 p.m. Monday, September 12, unless the team limit has been met.
