Tuck Fest’s Flatwater SUP Race is perfect for the new paddler and the elite racer alike. Choose between the recreational four-mile distance or the pro eight-mile race, both of which start and finish on the Catawba River. This upriver, out-and-back race will begin with a mass start from the USNWC flatwater dock. Participants are encouraged to bring their own gear. All board lengths will compete in the same class for each distance. A limited number of SUP gear packages are available for rent, first come first serve the morning of the race for a $10 rental fee.
Racers will meet at the Catawba River Dock. Racers renting equipment will need to do so at the Kayak Center prior to race start so they can be at the dock by race start time.
