Following the Gla Gla Race 2022, the Alpine Lakes Tour saw the return of the BAT Race as stop #2 of the 2022 circuit. The only underground paddle race in the world!
More women than men
It’s rare enough to point it out: there were more women than men at the BAT Race and the level was high!
Elimination rounds
The athletes competed in a sprint tournament and all participants were able to run at least 3 times.
Sponsored by Red Paddle Co
The equipment (paddle, vest, paddles) was provided by the Alpine Lakes Tour’s sporting partner: Red Paddle Co.
Costume racing
As competitors paddle in the dark, the very unique atmosphere of this race was also the perfect setting for a costume party. The theme was naturally that of superheroes! But not everyone had to be Batman or Batwoman… A special prize was awarded for the best costumes!
