Get ready paddle sport enthusiasts & racers! The 2nd Annual Bear Town Paddle Battles will take place on July 16th, 2022. Join us for a wonderful day on the water in beautiful New Bern, the original capital city of North Carolina. Not only are we seeking novice paddlers from around the area interested in participating in their first race, yet this will be an excellent and challenging event for the experienced SUP, kayak, or surfski racer. The best thing is that it supports an exceptional cause! Event proceeds will benefit Task Force Neuro, an IRS 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, established in the State of North Carolina. Task Force Neuro, was founded to assist individuals and families affected by a neuromuscular disease or disorder. These diseases include Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington’s Parkinson’s, ALS, Dystonia, and MSA, just to name a few.
