Community Canoe & Kayak Races
July 19 @ 7:30 am – 11:00 am EDT
Get ready for a summer full of fun, friendly competition, and time on the river at the White River Paddle Days & Festival! Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just looking for a unique way to enjoy the water, we’ve got something for everyone. Read on below to learn what we have in store for 2025!
This year there are two races:
- Distance Challenge: Kick things off on Friday, June 20th with a scenic 6–7 mile paddle starting from the White River Canoe Company in Noblesville. This race should take just over an hour to complete. $50/person.
- Short-Distance Tournament: On Saturday, July 19th, it’s time to turn up the energy with a short-distance canoe tournament in downtown Noblesville. Race around a buoy and back in a double-elimination bracket—which means everyone races at least twice! $75/person.
What’s Included with Registration?
Your registration fee does a lot more than just get you on the water! It covers:
- Canoe or kayak rental – no need to BYOB (bring your own boat!)
- Refreshments
- Live entertainment & good vibes
- Support for the White River Alliance
Awards
For the June race, the top paddlers in each boat category—canoe, tandem kayak, and single kayak—will earn awards. For the July race, our top 3 teams will win awards!
