The Open Water Challenge 2019 has been announced. The race, the Sinis SUP Marathon a “classic” and iconic SUP event will be held in Torregrande, Sardinia on September 20th till 22nd running along side the Oristano OWC, an international Watersports event,  an event that is celebrating its 10th anniversary!  The Long Distance race will go along Tharros, an ancient settlement (now an archaeological site) and natural amphitheater overlooking the sea, bordered by the imposing Capo San Marco lighthouse.

The race is open to everyone: professionals and amateurs, with boards of all lengths.
