Tanner Foreman
My name is Tanner and I paddle marathon and sprint K1, surfski, outrigger canoe, and dragon boat. I have raced nationally and internationally in K1 marathon, K1 sprint, and dragon boat. I started paddling 10 years ago at LCKC and that is where my coach introduced me to marathon racing in 2021. LCKC hosted the ACA Marathon National Championships that year and I had a lot of fun racing on my home course. In 2023, I helped plan and run the ACA Marathon National Championships as well as race. In 2024, I took a road trip to Texas to race as the only female athlete. I also raced the K1 marathon at the 2024 FISU World University Championships in Portugal. I currently work as a coach and manager at Southeast Paddle Sports.
