Join us for the Music City SUP and Kayak Race, presented by
Nashville Fit Magazine. We'll race along the scenic shores of J. Percy Priest
Lake, 20 minutes from downtown Nashville, TN. Join your friends to race a
2-mile or 6-mile course, or sign your groms up for a 1-mile short course. The
race is open to standup paddleboarders, kayakers and prone paddlers alike! Hard
boards or inflatables.
The Music City SUP (and Kayak and Prone) Race is
back for 2017! We're part of the Southern Stoke Series and presented by Nashville
Fit Magazine.
This race is a community paddling event produced by
a number of local paddling outfitters. Proceeds from the race benefit the Cumberland River Compact, which
works to protect our local watershed, and the Nashville Parks Foundation. Our
race launches from inside Metro Parks' Hamilton Creek Recreation Area. We're
grateful for all both organizations do for our paddling community.
Our event is open to everyone, from first-time racers to pros:
• 1-Mile Grom Race ($25)
• 2-Mile Race ($45)
• 6-Mile Elite Race ($55)
Prices increase by $10 on July 7, 2017.
All races are open to SUP, kayak
and prone paddlers, hard boards/boats and inflatables.
Your race fee includes your registration, a hat, awards for category winners and tons of fun
