The award highlighted the continuing efforts of the series and its founders, its reach in the paddling community and its professionalism in the execution of the events.

“[The Paddle for Humanity] has always been about creating an event that channels the positive energy of the paddling community towards a good cause. The support for the event series from the industry and the paddlers has been amazing,” says founder and race co-director, Pete Stirling. “We are looking forward to continued growth in the coming years.”

In addition to two new stops, the Paddle for Humanity will be rolling out a new multi-race format that feature events and activities for paddlers of all ages and skill levels.
