Neptunalia Relay Race

[PaddlingParadise]

100 MILE TEAM PADDLE RELAY RACE
BREVARD COUNTY, Florida 2014

Date will be announced soon: Race will not be before June 6th so you have plenty of time to put your Theme and Team together.

NEPTUNALIA RELAY RACE is a 24 Hour Paddling Relay Race that makes testing your limits a team sport.
You and 5 of your wild water friends jump onto the water and tag team paddle 100 miles, day and night, relay-style. Only one paddler hits the water at a time. Each participant paddles 5 times, with each leg ranging between 2-8 miles and varying in difficulty. So, from the elite paddler down to the novice water baby, it's the perfect race for anyone.
This is open to all paddle craft.

The Neptunalia was an obscure archaic two-day festival in honour of Neptune as god of waters, celebrated at Rome in the heat and drought of summer, probably July 23 (Varro, De lingua Latina vi.19). It was one of the dies comitiales, when committees of citizens could vote on civil or criminal matters. In the ancient calendar this day is marked as Nept. ludi et feriae, or Nept. ludi, from which Leonhard Schmitz (in Smith, see link) concluded that the festival was celebrated with games (ludi). Respecting the ceremonies of this festival nothing is known, except that the people used to build huts of branches and foliage (umbrae, according to Festus, under " Umbrae"), in which they probably feasted, drank, and amused themselves (Horace Carmina iii.28.1, &c.; Tertullian De Spectaculis ("On Celebrations") 6). Compare to the "booths" under which Jews celebrate Sukkot.
