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.

This year the charities being sponsored by the race are the Kommunity Youth Activity Center (KYAC) and Home Aide Service of the Central Adirondacks (HASCA).   

This exciting event brings local businesses together to vie for the coveted  trophy and to work together as a community for worthy causes.

The Charity Go-Kart Race will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 11. A rain date is set for Thursday, Sept. 13. Racers should call (315) 369-6145 to confirm postponement due to rain  the day of the race.  

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.
