WHAT IS A PADDLE-A-THON?
To celebrate 25 years of KP Dragons, we’re hosting a 25,000-meter (25K) Paddle-A-Thon that brings together current paddlers, alumni, friends, and supporters for a day on the water.
​
The team will collectively paddle 25 kilometers — a symbolic distance representing 25 years of paddling, teamwork, and community.
