Gig Harbor will be the site for the inaugural Gig Harbor Paddlers Cup and Expo set for April 28-29.
The event will feature competitive paddle racing for kayaks, canoes and standup paddleboards, with proceeds benefiting the Gig Harbor Kayak Club and Surfrider Foundation.
Skansie Brothers Park and Jerisich Dock will be the location of the races taking place inside the harbor.
In addition, there will be vendors and booths set up in the park while the races are taking place. The expo will be an opportunity to try out equipment, view new boats and learn more about paddling sports.
To see more information on the course for both the distance and sprint races and for registration information, go to gigharborpaddlerscup.com
