Nistru SUP Challenge in Vadul lui Voda
The Nistru SUP Challenge brings stand-up paddleboard racers to Vadul lui Voda on the last Sunday of May, forming part of the wider Day of the Dniester River program. Organized by SUP Moldova, the event pairs amateur competition with a broader push to highlight the river's ecological and cultural value, drawing paddlers to one of Moldova's best-loved summer riverside destinations for a day centered on sport and awareness.
Every year on the last Sunday of May, the Dniester River at Vadul lui Voda becomes the stage for a modest but telling event: the Nistru SUP Challenge.
