It’s time to start dusting off your kayak or canoe and start planning which paddling races you’re going to attend this year.

If you’re new to our website, we search the web to find kayak and canoe races, events, festivals, triathlons, and paddling challenges all over the United States. We list them on our Kayak, Canoe & Paddling Races and Events pages. You can search for events by state or month.

We also receive kayaking and canoeing races and events from paddlers that want to spread the word about a paddling event that is happening in their state. 

Here is an event that was sent to us:

 The 6^th annual Shark Bite Challenge April 17-18, 2010.

Honeymoon Island State Park, Dunedin, Florida

This event is part of the Island Earth Days Festival.

The Shark Bite Challenge is a 2 day event for outriggers, surfskis, paddleboards, and kayaks.

 The 6-man outrigger regatta race is scheduled for Saturday.

The OC-1, Surfski, Paddleboard, and Kayak race is scheduled for Sunday.

The Shark Bite Challenge includes a 4 mile recreational and 8 mile competitive race for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards.  
This event sounds like it would be fun for the whole family.

If you go, we would love to hear from you!
