Registration for The Onancock Challenge Kayak & Paddleboard Race is now OPEN! We love putting on this race in the Bayside Village of Onancock, and appreciate of the wonderful support we get from paddlers throughout the region who come to join us for a great time on and off the water. If you love to paddle, like to compete, but don’t need to feel like you’re trying out for the Olympics, then this just might be the perfect way for you to spend the day. The course is great, the paddlers are friendly, and the Town loves having you all here to explore all it has to offer.
