Canoers and kayakers on Saturday will push off from Fort Halifax in Winslow, paddle 17 miles down the Kennebec River and end their journey at Augusta's Old Fort Western.
The morning sojourn will be the ninth annual Fort-to-Fort Canoe and Kayak Expedition.
Old Fort Western organizers are holding the event to coincide with Augusta's Spring Running Festival.
The push-off time is 8 a.m. from Fort Halifax Park. The 17-mile trip will take five to six hours.
After the ride down the river, a shuttle bus will transport participants to Winslow to pick up cars; the last bus departs Augusta at 5 p.m.
The ride is not a competition, Old Fort Western director Jay Adams said. "Rather it is an opportunity to be on the water, paddling at your own pace, to re-trace and re-explore the route that linked the Fort Western and Fort Halifax in the 1750s and '60s."
