Performance Paddling’s Afterglow Race Series consists of three different Friday nights of racing in Dana Point Harbor. The goal is to provide a fun, picturesque race environment for the local and surrounding paddling community.
Each night will have two events: a 1-mile race and a 500-meter sprint course. You can race in one event or both, but the more times you race the more opportunity you will have to win fun prizes. Racing will begin approximately forty-five minutes prior to sunset and finish just in time to bask in the afterglow.
Pizza & prizes will follow each night of racing at the picnic tables on Baby Beach. 1-Mile Overall Champion, Sprint Overall Champion, and Overall Series Champion will be crowned for men and women at the final event.
Registration includes pizza and a chance to win some cool prizes.
- $15 pre-registration
- $20 onsite registration
