Da$h for Ca$h is Presented by

The Da$h For Ca$h is a 64-team bracket-style, single elimination event held on Tuesday before the Marathon in Oscoda. Teams compete for a part of a $5,000+ prize pool! Teams are positioned on the bracket via a random draw that occurs approximately 15 minutes before the event begins.

The course is approximately 1/5 mile (322 meters) in length. Two teams will sprint downstream head to head starting from behind Gilbert’s Drug Store and finishing at the Marathon Finish Line, just upstream of the Mill Street Bridge. The sprint durations last approximately 1m:20s per heat and are held in 2-3 minute intervals until a champion is crowned. Prize money is presented following the final sprint, and paddlers must be present to collect their prize.

This event is open to Marathon paddlers and the general public. There is no registration fee for paddlers registered for the Marathon and paddlers are not required to compete with their Marathon partner. Marathon paddlers can pre-register for the event.
