A Benefit For Environmental Traveling Companions'

Paddle With A Purpose

The  West Coast's largest, most popular, and definitely most fun sea kayaking  event of the year!   Widely considered the "BayToBreakers®" of sea kayaking, the annual Sea Trek Regatta and Paddle-a-thon is a chance for the Bay Area paddling community  to share in a fun and challenging day of paddling on San Francisco Bay and raise money  for Environmental Traveling Companions’ (ETC) accessible outdoor adventure  programs.   

With a variety of race classes and courses, the Regatta and Paddle-a-thon is perfect for paddlers looking to race competitively as well as those who are new to the sport and just looking for a spirited paddling event to support a great cause!      
 
Once again, we will be holding the Paddle-a-thon concurrently with the Regatta!  The Paddle-a-thon is much like a walk-a-thon only on water!  Paddlers of all abilities are encouraged to recruit family, friends and colleagues to sponsor their paddling miles and in turn support accessible adventures for people  with disabilities and inner-city youth.  

GREAT prizes awarded to top fundraisers, including a 7-day Baja sea kayaking trip for the paddler who raises the most sponsorships over $1000!!
 
All event proceeds go to support Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC),  a Bay Area nonprofit organization providing accessible outdoor adventures for people with disabilities and inner-city youth since 1972.  
 
Help keep paddling adventures accessible to people of all abilities by registering for the Paddle-a-thon or sponsoring a paddler today!
