Paddlers Challenge is set for Saturday

| June 4, 2020 1:00 AM

The 12th annual Sand Creek Paddlers Challenge is a fun and exciting event for families and serious racers alike. The community is invited to join the Sandpoint Parks & Recreation Department on Saturday, June 6, for the annual event.

Pre-registration at sandpointidaho.gov/parksrecreation. Check in and on-site registration is from 9-9:30 a.m. at the City Beach pavilion. Pre-race meetings starts at 9:30 a.m. and the race will begin at 10 a.m. The fee is $10/boat.

The Paddlers Challenge is a 4-mile paddle up and back on Sand Creek and has three separate divisions: two race divisions, solo & tandem, a recreation division for those who don’t want to leave a wake, and a SUP (stand up paddleboard) division. There are trophies for first place in each division and random drawings for prizes. This event has grown each year, and is quickly becoming a don’t-miss event.

Register online at sandpointidaho.gov/parksrecreation or visit Parks & Recreation in person at 1123 Lake St. For additional classes, visit the Parks & Recreation website or call the department at 208-263-3613.
