Back for the second season! The Founders Day Stand Up Paddleboard Challenge elevates stand up paddle boarding to the next level of fun! The concept of the Challenge is to help you improve your paddleboard skils while having fun! You will compete against other paddleboarders of your ability level, your sex and age. You will be on identical equipment so the equipment advantage is removed and the playing field is leveled. No need to bring any equipment! You will compete in two different events, long distance and sprint. The best combined times of each division will receive a prize.
Check in is at 3:00 - 3:30pm at Riverfront Park in Algonquin. Half of the $20 registration fee goes to the Founders Day Festival Fund. Find out more about the Founder's Day SUP Challenge to be held in the no wake zone of the Fox River and sign up here- - - >
