Charleston Surge takes Gold!

In a very close race in the Gold round, Charleston Surge beat defending champs Second Harvest Food Bank Dragon Masters by one-tenth of a second to capture the Grand Champion title! The Gold Round third place team, Blazing Paddles, surpassed Surge in total time. Jewelry TV's Dragon Bytes came in fourth place in the Gold division. What a great day of racing and fundraising:

Paddlers raised a record $77,000 for Knox Area Rescue Ministries!
