After an 11-week run with more than 60 people hitting the water each week, bringing along dockside laughs, first-time paddlers, post-race beers, national anthems, DJ beats, and of course some epic battles on the water, TNRL wrapped up its final official race of 2026 Tuesday night.
And like the previous 13 years before it, it didn’t disappoint.
Over the course of the season, we watched some of the fastest paddlers in Florida, and arguably some of the fastest paddlers in the country, line up on the same starting line as paddlers doing their very first event. Some racers pushed for personal best times every week. Others stretched from the 1-mile course into the 3-mile and 4.6-mile courses for the first time. Some stayed loyal to the fun course because they simply wanted to be part of the best Tuesday night tradition in Jupiter.
That’s the magic of TNRL.
One start line. Every level. Same community.
This season also brought a few new additions to the water. Music on the docks and across the course helped turn race nights into floating block parties, while the National Anthem before the horn gave every start a little extra electricity, even though next year we will not bring back the Jimi Hendrix version, lesson learned. Looking ahead to 2027, we’re already brainstorming new ways to make Tuesday nights even bigger, louder, smoother, and more unforgettable.
To every paddler, spectator, family member, and friend who supported TNRL this season: thank you.
Without you, this tradition wouldn’t be possible.
We hope to see all of you back in the shop, back on the water, and back on the starting line next season.
