Tahoe Cup paddleboard race series on North Shore

Officially the longest running paddle race series in the Lake Tahoe region, the Tahoe Cup Paddle Race celebrates its 11th anniversary this year with four events scheduled between May and September.

The series offers the recreational paddler and the race enthusiast an opportunity to participate in SUP, prone paddleboard or OC1 class races on Lake Tahoe.

All four events will take place on Lake Tahoe, with events scheduled on May 26, July 21, Aug. 25 and Sept. 15. Register online.

Proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Lake Tahoe Waterman Association, an organization dedicated to preserving the California Tahoe Conservancy land that provides public access to Lake Tahoe in Carnelian Bay. LTWA also works to educate the public on the value of non-motorized paddle sports. Beginning this year, the Tahoe Cup Paddle Race Series will be the primary fundraising mechanism for the Lake Tahoe Waterman Association.
