Let's attempt a return to normalcy with this year's format.
The Paddle Bender is a canoe, kayak, SUP, and outrigger race in the midlands area of South Carolina on beautiful Lake Murray! We have two course options for this fundraiser for PAWS Animal Wildlife Sanctuary, Inc. All net proceeds will be donated to this organization. Starts at 10:00am
8 Mile -- Double Circumnavigation of the Island
4 Mile -- Beginner Friendly
There should be a return to a full award ceremony this year.
