BY Dawn Rankins

The Canyon Lake Triathlon & Fitness Club’s popular Paddle and Pedal Regatta is on the calendar and Canyon Lakers are invited to come and join them for a day of fun on the water on Aug. 13 at Indian Beach.

Everyone is invited to bring their paddleboards, pedal boats, kayaks, canoes, row boats or any other non-motorized watercraft for a group paddle that will begin at Indian Beach, proceed to East Port launch ramp, before winding back to Indian Beach.

The 10th annual event will begin at 10:00 a.m. with a group photo, followed by the paddle.

“No boat, no problem,” event organizer Karin Cassidy said. “Several of the club’s triathletes in training are planning to swim the approximately one-mile distance and anyone is welcome to join them.”

Following the group paddle, there will also be an adult and kid paddleboard/kayak race, with medals for the winners.
