Gwynn’s Island Festival ‘Kukini Run’

June 24, 2017 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am

$25
  • « Gwynn’s Island Festival
  • Historic House Party at Riverlawn »

This event runs in conjunction with the Annual Gwynn’s Island Festival in late June.

In Hawaiian, Kukini means “swift runner or messenger, employed by old chiefs, with a premium on their speed” – come enjoy the Island-themed event around Mathews County Virginia’s Gwynn’s Island!

You will enjoy this FAST, FLAT course along the island coast with overlooks of Chesapeake Bay along the way.

Gwynn’s Island is one of Virginia’s little-known gems: a welcoming community, scenic views, and full of history. Stick around after the race and enjoy the Annual Gwynn’s Island Festival. This will be a day you won’t forget and will want to enjoy year after year!
