Dam to Dam 2026

Set for Friday, June 12, 2026, Dam to Dam is a one-of-a-kind 24-mile standup paddleboard journey that connects two iconic waterfront locations — beginning at Mount Holly Boat Landing, NC and finishing at Tega Cay Beach Club, SC — before culminating in a celebratory post-paddle gathering.

More than a race, Dam to Dam is an 11-hour endurance experience designed to test both physical stamina and mental resilience. Paddlers navigate a challenging course with full on-water support, including stocked escort boats, catered meals, and dedicated safety assistance throughout the route.

No paddleboard experience is needed. However, an application is required as spots are limited to 50 total paddleboards, which may be piloted by an individual or a team of two. For optional two-person teams, one member would be on the paddleboard and the other in a support boat. Team members can switch positions as needed throughout the event.

Applications are open now through April 1, 2026. Selected participants will be notified on April 8, 2026.

The event concludes with a post-paddle celebration and awards ceremony open to paddlers and their guests — a well-earned opportunity to reflect on the day’s achievement. While the atmosphere is welcoming and uplifting, the journey itself demands focus, grit, and determination.

Open to cancer survivors, caregivers, and anyone motivated to make a meaningful impact, Dam to Dam offers a powerful and deeply personal experience. There is no registration fee; however, each paddler commits to raising a minimum of $1,500 to secure their place on the starting line.
