Bring the whole family and let everyone experience what paddling in the Windy City is all about!
Board Rentals
Boards will be provided for the Yoga, Paddlefit and Learn to Paddle Day classes only.
6 Mile, 3 Mile and 1 Mile Fun racers will have to provide their own board, paddle, leash and pfd.
A limited number of boards can be rented from ChicagoSUP. Boards will only be available to you during the race for which you registered and will have to be returned immediately after race finish. Reserve your board during the registration process on this site.
Safety
In order to promote paddling safety, a pfd and leash are mandatory.
Participants will have to follow all instructions of the race organizers. Recreational paddling on the race course during races will not be permitted.
Discount & Hats
Pre-registered racers save $10 over race day registration.
In order to keep the entry fees low, we have decided to offer Hats for sale instead of T-shirts. They can be purchased during registration or on site.
Awards
Top 3 from each category male and female will receive race medals.
Trophies will be given to 1st place for 3 and 6 Mile races for 14' and under. Prizes from our sponsors: Rawlogy, Blackfish Paddles and Brooklyn Boulders.
All categories will be tracked for Midwest Series points even if on site awards are overall only.
Learn to Paddle Day
Learn to paddle day will take place on Sunday from 10:00 to 3:15 pm. It is an opportunity for those new to paddling to see what SUP and Kayak at Lincoln Park Boat Club is all about. Each Mini lesson will be 30 min long. Pre-registration is required using the Registration button on this site. There you will be able to select your desired time slot.
All paddling equipment will be provided. We recommend bringing a towel, change of clothes, plenty of water and sunscreen. Please do not bring any valuables onto the water. If you wear glasses, make sure to secure them with a head strap. Participants have to certify that they can swim and sign a waiver to participate. The best part, if you enjoyed your lesson, we will have discounts for membership and classes at LPBC!
