What is it?
Last Paddler Standing is an endurance SUP race taking place on Lake June in Winter in Lake Placid, FL. Unlike any other paddle race in the world, Last Paddler Standing is a race of stamina and strategy. Racers will paddle a 3.33-mile loop course, starting and finishing the loop within a one-hour period. The next loop will begin on the hour, and the race goes until only one paddler is left standing. At the 48-hour mark, the length of the loop will be increased to 4.9 miles. Do you have what it takes to be the Last Paddler Standing?
When is it and Who can do it?
This is a SUP-only race. Paddlers must use a single blade; no double blades are allowed. Boards cannot be hybrid sit-on-top. This race is designed to challenge endurance, stamina, and strategic thinking. It’s not solely about speed, so don’t select your SUP based on that.
The race will start on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, at 9 AM and will continue until there is only one finisher. No refunds for entry—races cost money to produce, so once you’ve signed up, your spot is secured.
About the Race
The race is timed, with each loop starting on the hour, every hour. Racers must be at the starting line within 10 seconds of the top of the hour. They must complete the course loop within the hour and be ready to go at the start of the next loop.
If the race comes down to two final competitors, it will continue until one quits. At that point, the final competitor must complete one last solo loop to claim the title of Last Paddler Standing.
This race could last just a few hours—or it could last for days. It all depends on your mental and physical fortitude!
