Kayakers, canoeists, and stand-up paddleboarders: Get ready to throw down!
The 45th annual New England Paddlesports Championship, presented by the Connecticut River Conservancy, will be held along the Connecticut River on July 28.
Canoe, kayak, SUP, and surf ski racers from throughout the region will compete for honors on the Connecticut River between southwest New Hampshire and southeast Vermont. Paddlers will gather at Norm’s Marina in Hinsdale, New Hampshire.
Participants can choose to race either the 12-mile competitive course or the 5-mile recreational course. There will also be a 1-mile community challenge.
The courses lap the Brattleboro-Hinsdale island by passing under the Route 119 bridges, where spectators cheer on competitors.
