SAVE THE DATE – BATTLE OF THE PADDLES 2026
The countdown begins! The 2nd Annual Battle of the Paddles returns to Placencia on August 2, 2026—and it’s set to be bigger, stronger, and even more impactful.
Join us for an exciting day in Placencia featuring races in:
- Canoes
- Sea Kayaks
- Sit-on-Top Kayaks
- Stand-Up Paddleboards
This is more than a race—it’s a movement. Together with our partners (Placencia Village Council PVC, Barefoot Services - Create Your Adventure, Crocodile Research Coalition Sandycovebztours) we continue to raise awareness about protecting and preserving the Placencia Lagoon while bringing the community together through sport, purpose, and environmental stewardship.
Whether you’re ready to compete, support, or partner with us (Belize Canoe Association), now is the time to get involved.
