💥 Come for the competition, stay for the chaos and glory!
Spectators welcome & encouraged to cheer on the fun!
Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just in it for fun, this is your invite to the most epic (and slightly chaotic) water showdown of the year. No entry fees, no pressure — just good vibes, big splashes, and questionable choices in watercraft.
🔥 RACE LINEUP 🔥
🏄♂️ 1 Mile SUP Sprint
Push your paddle power to the limit on your stand-up paddleboard.
🛶 2 Mile Kayak Charge
Endurance, speed, and a little bit of splash zone action.
🦩 “Run What You Brung” (.25 Mile Mayhem)
If it floats, is paddle powered only (and isn’t a kayak or SUP), it qualifies. Unicorn floaties? Inflatable couches? Bathtubs on pontoons? LET’S. GOOOO.
This is the crowd favorite in the making. Get weird.
💸 FEES
Zero. Zilch. Nada.
We’re keeping it free for our inaugural year.
Donations welcome to help us make next year even bigger and splashier.
🎉 AFTER PARTY
Stick around for the Low Key After Party – hang out, relive the race, swap stories, and soak up the glory.
👀 SPECTATORS WELCOME!
Bring your lawn chairs and your loudest cheering voice. This will be one for the books.
