We are back again this year in Bentonville and the original location of the canoe races that were held in the 70's and 80's. The marathon distance has been tweaked to 10-miles. The Paddle Palooza is also running in conjunction with the Bluebell Festival held at Shenandoah River State Park so once you have finished your paddle, you can head next door to the park and enjoy the festival and check out the amazing bluebell trail.

Surrounded by breathtaking views and fast-flowing water, this race is an adventure you won’t want to miss. Keep your paddle moving as you navigate this peaceful yet powerful section of the river – no time to fish here!

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Paddle sports cover kayak, canoe, SUP, and outrigger racing on rivers, lakes, and open ocean — from short sprints to marathon distances, split by craft. The water and the weather are as much a part of the race as the field.
It's a full-body, low-impact way to race, where reading the water and a smooth, repeatable stroke matter as much as raw power.
