All rise … and paddle.
Back Country Ski & Sports and Franklin County Parks and Recreation have teamed up to host the first Smith Mountain Lake Stand Up Paddle Board Race and Demo later this month at Smith Mountain Lake Community Park in Moneta.
The June 30 race will get underway at 9:30 a.m. with awards to be handed out at noon. For those who don’t want to race, a paddle board demo will take place from 12:30 to 3 p.m., with vendors on site to answer questions and talk about the equipment.
The entry fee is $10 (and includes a t-shirt). The race is 3 miles long, with divisions for youth (age 15 and under), men, women, men over age 50, and women over age 50. If you don't own a SUP, you can borrow a demo board for the race.
Register for the race at Back Country’s Salem or Blacksburg location or print and return your entry form (and fee) to Franklin County Parks and Rec.
The demo is free and you do not have to register...just show up!
