The 3rd Annual Gun Island Chute SUP Cup takes place on Downtown Montgomery's stretch of the Alabama River known as the Gun Island Chute. An exciting lap-based course will give paddlers a unique racing experience on flat, steady-flowing water. A member of the Southern Stoke Paddle Series, the Gun Island Chute SUP Cup is hosted by the longtime local non-profit, Montgomery Dragon Boat Race and Festival. While not in conjunction with the Dragon Boat Festival this year, the GIC SUP Cup promises to deliver one of the South's most unique SUP competitions. See details below...
