Back To News/PR Index | | Annabel Anderson Reveals Predictions for 2018 Carolina Cup | Starting Line of the Graveyard Race – Courtesy Laura Glantz | In a check-up interview with North Carolina Press Release, Anderson provides an update on her recovery and reveals an in-depth analysis including her predictions for 2018’s grueling 13-mile Graveyard Race. Anderson’s outlook for both the men and women elite races is uniquely meaningful, based on her empirical knowledge of the Graveyard course plus considerable experience on the course with the world’s top-ranked male and female paddlers. Undoubtedly one of the greatest
athletes of all time in the sport, Anderson won two gold medals in the
recent ISA World Standup Paddleboard Championships; is the reigning World
SUP Tour Salt Life Champion; Champion of the Pacific Paddle Games; and
ranked overall number-one in the world, the only female to achieve this
recognition.

Races, clinics, expos, entertainment, and festivities will be in Wrightsville Beach, April 18-22, 2018. All races will begin and end at Blockade Runner Beach Resort, the official resort of the Carolina Cup. “The Graveyard course is the most punishing single-day race on the international calendar every year,” said Anderson. “It is technically demanding, tactically difficult, and physically punishing, the true test of the complete paddler.” Click for text of Robert Butler’s interview with Annabel Anderson.
