The First Section Award: Blazing Paddles

Written By JS O'Connor

There is only one paddle section in the 2023 USARA National Championship, but it’s a doozy. Right now, most teams are on or just reaching stage 3 which consists of 22 miles of paddling down the Lamoille River, along with two lengthy portages. Fast paddling teams will have a chance to take home the first of three section awards on the course.

Award #1: Blazing Paddles: Awarded to the team who has the fastest time from TA2 to TA3

There are some world class paddlers out there and it will be a fast stage for a lot of these teams. Check out what they’re up against on stage 3:
