Expect the unexpected at the Sea Island Rotary’s sixth annual Hunting Island Adventure Biathlon.

The popular event is set for a noon start on March 6 at the state park. The event features a scenic six-mile kayak race from the Hunting Island lagoon and a 4.5-mile trail run through the maritime forest.

Proceeds from the Adventure Biathlon benefit local and international children’s charities supported by the Sea Island Rotary, said Marc Fisher, president of the organization.

“It’s a wonderful event that showcases our Lowcountry in a special way, and for a great cause,” Fischer said. “We’ve run this event now for five years and we look forward to making this sixth Adventure Biathlon our very best.”

Registration is $40 per person or $55 for a team. To register, visit www.active.com. Late registration will be available the day of the race starting at 10 a.m. The race kicks off at noon and an awards ceremony is set for 3 p.m. at Hunting Island.
