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 1st place in each division and random drawings for prizes. This event has grown each year, and is quickly becoming a don’t-miss event.
