Outstanding Paddler Award:

Jim Hennessee

The Outstanding Paddler Award is given each year to the paddler who, in the opinion of the judges, has demonstrated the most superlative effort in the race. Consideration is given to age, sex, paddling experience, type of craft and other factors that could affect the paddler's performance.

Each year the name of the winner of the Outstanding Paddler Award is engraved onto a brass plaque that is mounted onto a wooden canoe paddle. The paddle is displayed in the Nelson County Tourism Office.
