Catch the Cure - Paddle for Parkinson's

Paddle for Parkinson's Fundraiser

Working To Find A Cure for Parkinson's Disease

There's no place like HOME to hold the lucky 13th annual Paddle for Parkinson's fundraiser! Come back and join us, where it all began on September 2nd, 2023.

Join us at North Padre Island, Gypsy Park boat ramp to paddle the 2.5-mile race to the Padre Island Yacht Club and back.  Paddle your kayak, paddleboard, or anything manually propelled, then join in for some live music, BBQ, and awards ceremony.

Paddle for Parkinson's is a professionally timed kayak and stand-up paddleboard race on North Padre Island.  The distance is a 2.5-mile loop.  

To simplify, this year we will only be having a single loop option, and there will be no team or relay events.
