Fast, fun, and head-to-head—Craft Cross is bringing a new level of excitement to Paddle Fest.

Racers will go head-to-head down a dynamic stretch of the Buena Vista Whitewater Park, navigating current, features, and a few strategic slalom turns along the way. It’s a sprint-style format designed for both competitors and spectators.

Divisions include:

• Inflatable Kayak (IK)

• Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP)

• Raft

Each class will race within its category, battling for bragging rights and podium spots—plus the chance to claim victory right at the finish line.

As a first-year event, Craft Cross is primed to become a crowd favorite and a must-watch addition to the Paddle Fest lineup.

Location: North Staircase to North Bridge – BV Whitewater Park

Registration at 2:30 on site.
