Water enthusiasts of all ages and expertise are invited to join us in the first inaugural Bay Bridge Paddle, open to Stand Up Paddleboards, Kayaks and other paddle craft.

Launching from the iconic Sandy Point Park in Annapolis, MD, there will be something for everyone.  Events will include an Elite 8.4 mile course that traverses the Chesapeake Bay while paddling underneath the Bay Bridge, one of the world’s longest open water structures and a truly unique experience.  There will also be a 5K Open race for intermediate paddlers, and a fun filled recreation course closer to the beach area for novices (children and adults).  In addition, there will be other fun events to entertain paddlers of all skill levels.
