3rd Corfu Emerald Cup: A 'Green' celebration of sport!
The 3rd Annual Corfu Emerald Cup is taking place June 15-16, Following last year's success the international event has become an important part of the SUP Euro Tour Grand Slam.
This year the Emerald Cup will be a Green Race, partnering with the local “Let’s Do This Corfu!” and "All For Blue" in an effort to protect Corfu’s seas and beaches through active recycling and voluntary beach clean-ups.
The competition includes three separate race categories—Open Water Swim, Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) and Fun. The Euro Tour SUP 14,800M (Pro category) takes place on Saturday, followed by Sunday’s “Let’s Do This Corfu” Challenge, a 3,500M Open Water Swim and SUP race in the Fun category for everyone—athletes, spectators, families and friends.
SUP races will begin at the Angsana Hotel beach, heading for Mouse Island before returning to finish at the starting point. The open water swim will start at the Church of Vlacherna where competitors will charge into the crystalline waters of Pontikonisi and drive hard toward the finish line—the world famous oasis Beach of Benitses at the Angsana Corfu Hotel (a Banyan Tree Resort opening soon ). All the races will be broadcast on a live video feed viewable from the beach.
