2025 TNR Season Starts April 1st.

Welcome to Tuesday Night Races, the largest weekly paddlesport event in North America!

Join us at Deep Cove Kayak for an exciting evening of open water racing. We welcome all types of paddling vessels, including kayaks, SUPs, canoes, OC’s, prone boards, and surf-skis.

Whether you’re an experienced paddler or just starting out, our races are the perfect way to challenge yourself and have fun with like-minded individuals. Our races are a healthy balance of friendly competition and community, where you can build long lasting connections within the paddling community. You don’t need to be a ‘pro’ or technically gifted to participate in our races. We’re a welcoming paddling community and we love to see beginners try it out!

The 2025 Tuesday Night Race series begins on April 1st, 2025, and will end on September 9th, 2025. In addition to our regular races, we have three major events that you won’t want to miss. These races will be held on the following dates and are sure to be highlights of the racing season:

  • Board the FjordSaturday, May 10, 2025
  • Whey Ah Wichen Whipper – Saturday, September 13, 2025
  • TNR Year End Party – Tuesday, September 16, 2025

Don’t forget to bring along a positive attitude and a competitive spirit, as we strive to create a friendly and inclusive atmosphere for all participants. We encourage you to arrive at check-in on time to avoid any delays and to give yourself ample time to prepare for the race.

Tuesday Night Race Schedule:
