MASTERS RACING

The Masters category is a competitive and social opportunity for paddlers over the age of 25. This group is focused on long-term enjoyment of the sport, and often can serve as a fun introductory phase for those who have never paddled, or a continued enjoyment for those who competed earlier in life. You can find out more about the various Masters programs by contacting our member clubs.
