This is going to be a great year at the Carolina Cup. We have listened to a lot of your feedback and have made some changes.
1. Graveyard Outrigger and Surfski Races are on Sunday, not Saturday. Saturday Graveyard will be Paddleboard only (traditional and standup)
2. Graveyard Divisions will be 14 feet and under for Mens AND Womens elite. There will be an unlimited division as well. We will be breaking this down into age groups (U17, 18-49, 50-59, 60+)
3. The Juniors Championship will be on Saturday in the
4. Harbor Island 5K race and will be broken down into 2-year age groups between 10 and 17 per the PPG age groups
Harbor Island 5K and Money Island 10K will have both 14' and 12'6 and under divisions for men and women and will have a U17 division, but the juniors focus will be in the Harbor Island Race
5. We are capping the number of racers in each race so we can provide jerseys, medals, and honestly, just be able to safely and enjoyably accommodate only as many as we have the resources to be able to accomodate. If you are racing, you'll need to get your spot.
6. We are making the kid race on Sunday $5 to kids under 12
7. For paddlers racing on Saturday AND Sunday, there is a 50% discount for the second race.
8. Finally, we have not raised the price of the event in 4 years.
9. There is no OC-6 race this year
Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you in North Carolina.
