SUP the Creek 2026 –
SUP The Creek is a two day SUP event (you can do a single day) which for many is a fantastic challenge on a beautiful estuary. This challenge is what makes the event unique compared to other races and one eagerly anticipated in the race calendar. Our race team and support boats have been working hard to deliver SUP The Creek to ensure we can host a race that is fun, safe and challenging to varying competency levels so that there is something for everyone.
With 3 distances to choose from on the Distance Race 1 day, 1km, 6km and 12km and a 6km Technical Race and Beach Sprints the next there should be challenge for all levels of paddler. This year see’s our Tech race + Beach Sprints race at South Sands on Saturday 3rd October 2026. On Sunday 4th at our HQ in Kingsbridge, all of which should make for a fun weekend of racing.
