Presented by IBMSE Credit Union and Southern 441 Nissan, SUP for Pups will take place on Saturday, September 7th, 2019 in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This is the first Challenge Salty Dog Paddle has solely hosted since Surfs Up Dogs, which took place in 2013. Like that event, the purpose of this challenge will be the same; to raise money for injured rescue dogs and marinelife. The charity pledges that 100% of all profits from the challenge will be used for that purpose.

SUP for Pups will be a paddling event like no other. A mix of racing, fundraising, and just flat-out fun, this soon-to-be annual 5K challenge brings together the whole SUP community to encourage healthy lifestyles and raise money for injured rescue dogs and marinelife. From pros and amateurs to local ocean athletes, SUP for Pups unites paddlers and fitness enthusiasts with animals in an effort to save lives and clean the ocean. Our flagship event will take place at Pioneer Park, Deerfield Beach, FL on Saturday, September 7th, 2019. Among a competitive 5K race, attendees can expect SUP lessons with certified instructors and free SUP rentals to help clean-up the intracoastal waters during and after the 5K race.
Thanks to our sponsors including IBMSE Credit Union and Southern 441 Nissan, attendance is free and entry to compete in the 5K challenge is a $20 donation – 100% of which will benefit injured rescue dogs. First 10 paddlers to sign up will receive a signature Salty Dog Paddle SUP Pup T-Shirt for free ($26 retail value) and every participant gets a 20% off voucher for the after party at Oceans 234!
