Paddle Races in Florida

The paddle race calendar in Florida is busiest in November and May, with races most often in Key West and Ocala.

What paddle racing is

Paddle races cover the paddlesports — kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and outrigger — on rivers, lakes, bays, and open ocean. Distances span short sprints to marathon-length races.

Events are often split by craft type, and sometimes by age or skill. Conditions like current, wind, and chop shape the race as much as the distance does.
