Do you want to see more of your friends out on the water?
You know the magic that happens when you cast off into Lake Champlain and explore the hidden treasures of this natural gem. Help us share that experience with more people in the community!
We are hosting a Paddlethon to get more people out on the water this summer. Similar to a marathon, participants have 2 hours to paddle as many laps as they can, racing towards a personal goal while helping to raise money in support of lake access for everybody. Prizes are awarded along the way!
We need your help to raise funds so everyone can access Lake Champlain.
We have a goal to reach $16,000. Will you help us reach that goal by donating to one of our rad paddle teams or awesome individuals working to meet their goal?
Registration Info
All attendees will be given the opportunity to fundraise. Registration includes a bib, course packet, paddle craft, and complimentary snacks and beverages. If you opt-in to bring your own paddle craft, you can receive 50% off your commitment amount by using promo code: BYOP2025.
