Pennsylvania Cup Championship Slalom Race Series

2017 PENNSYLVANIA CUP CHAMPIONSHIP
41st Annual Slalom Competition For Beginner Racers

Introduction

The Penn Cup is a fall series of races designed to introduce paddlers to the sport of slalom racing. Races are held on Sundays, with Saturdays reserved for course construction, practice, and clinics. Clinics are taught by experienced racers -- including former series champions and some of the best paddlers in the state and in the US -- and serve to introduce beginners to the sport, and to help more experienced racers advance from the basics of running the gates to discovering and paddling the most efficient lines. Awards are presented at each race, and overall series awards (earned on a point system) are presented after the final race.

There are many, many classes available at each race for open and decked boats, solo and tandem boats, racing boats, recreational boats, canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, juniors, cadets, masters, and well, just about anything and anybody. The emphasis is on fun and learning, and so the races in this series make an excellent introduction to the sport.
