And now is the time to rally your team!

The competition is simple: Teams of 5 paddle as many runs as they can endure for 32 days. To give your paddling purpose, the challenge raises funds for young adults with cancer. Teams in each division with the most vertical feet are crowned champions and win SIC prizes!

- Open to all paddlers (Kayakers, rafters, canoers, riverboarders) from all countries, of all skill levels
- Divisions include: Open, Class V, Class IV, Class III, Weekend Warrior, Women's
