San Juan SUP Run - Pro Edition
This
classic long distance SUP race will now be the first Professional SUP
competition ever held in Puerto Rico. Velauno is putting up $1000 in
cash prizes plus trophies and raffle items! This amazing event takes
Puerto Rico's Top Elite SUP racers and ambitious amateurs on a scenic
tour of San Juan.
The start is in beautiful Condado Lagoon. From
there the fleet crosses under the Dos Hermanos Bridge into the
challenging Atlantic Ocean and heads downwind on the North Coast of San
Juan. The 500 year old El Morro Castle welcomes the competitors into
the protected San Juan Bay. Racers are treated to the most spectacular
views of the old city as they work their way back upwind to the lagoon.
After 7 miles of hardcore paddling, the last stretch is a smooth water
paddle over the crystal clear waters of Condado Lagoon to a beach front
finish in front of hundreds of spectators.
Meanwhile, the
Weekend Warriors compete inside the beautiful Condado Lagoon in 3.5
mile course that has them cross several bridges and finish in grand
fashion on the beach, in front of friends and family.
The
afternoon will feature a great BBQ lunch, a new surprise SUP fun racing
contest for all levels plus the first ever SUP event for kids of all
ages. All this great fun will be followed by the awards ceremony where we will
hand out beautiful hand-crafted trophies, $1000 to the winners and
placers in all the divisions of the Elite race plus a raffle for some
great prizes.
