Daytona Beach Paddle Stars 10K Race

Daytona Beach Paddle Stars Race

This weekend was the paddle stars 10K race off in Daytona Beach.  It included 2 days of racing, Saturday in the Halifax river and Sunday in the ocean.  The grand prize for the lowest combined time was $10,000!  Not too bad.

I kind of stumbled upon this event by chance on Saturday morning.  I was at the farmers market in Daytona Beach on City Island and saw the event set up on the river across the park.  I went over to check it out and happened to catch the Juniors division race.  It was pretty exciting so when I heard they would be racing on the ocean the next day I had to come down and check it out.  Here are a few of the pictures I have processed so far from the event:

The first one is of an athlete before the start of the big race getting her focus.


This second one is of the racers lining up for the start of the race.  This is only a portion of the athletes that were in the race.  There were probably another 25 or so lined up around these people but I thought it looked cool to get the tall guy in the middle to be the center of the line up.
