What an amazing weekend! Thank you to all who helped make this year’s Paddlers Cup a huge success. Looking forward to seeing you next year!

The Paddlers Cup, the Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Racing Team's most prominent event, brought some 200 devotees of the rising sport to local waters.

Friends Friday! Thank you to our Friends of the Paddle Sponsors NC Kayaks, The Smart Orthodontic Group Gig Harbor, and Westbay NAPA Auto Parts, who are all longtime Paddlers Cup sponsors. It takes a village and we couldn’t do this without you!

Definitely a big weekend ahead. Registration is still open for the Inner Harbor Races on Satuday and the SUP Technical Course on Sunday. Even if you're not racing, come check out vendors and support local businesses. On Saturday, Gig Harbor Gondola will be there to give out rides and Destiny Harbor Tours will be taking spectators out to get a better view of the Inner Harbor Racing. Come join us!

The Paddlers Cup, put on by the Gig Harbor Kayak and Canoe Racing Team, will draw hundreds to the waterfront on April 25 and 26.
