Saturday---please spread the word.

07/23/2025

Registration is closed. We are full.

You can stop emailing me asking to get in :-) and for those who gave me s**t, not cool. Everyone who was polite, I appreciate it.

Racers, look for email and start list on Friday.

FAQ answers

1. Race is the 4th Saturday of July
2. Register early! Registration closes week before, OR when it fills up.
3. The race starts at 4 and it's a 6 hr release, you have tons of time to paddle before the race starts.
And the course is open during the race, we just ask that you be aware and stay clear of the racers.
4. Safety volunteers are always appreciated. Bring your kit, find a rock, hang out and help if needed.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE RACERS!

Registration is filling up now!

We have a solid Duo class. If we get another women's team (and a men's), we can add a women's Duo class! How cool would that be---spread the word.

Please don't delay signing up. We hate having to say no--there is only so much water in the release. Final deadline to enter is this Sunday, but don't delay.

Ok yinz. Time is running out to register for #45. Entries are light so far.

And I have yet to talk to anyone who
a) feels like they put in the training/practice runs or
b) isn't nursing some sort of injury (or both).

So, this COULD BE YOUR YEAR. Just do it. The t shirt is cool. The race is cooler.

Big thanks to Upper Yough Photo for the great shots and IR and WV for making this happen.

Also to note, the ability to race raft and teams is available on the registration site now. Sorry for missing that.
Don't delay, no late entries!

Feedback on this year's race shirt is that it's 🔥. I'm not gonna share it though. You'll have to wait until race day to see it.

2 words: "collectors item".

I'm not suggesting that you enter just to get a t shirt, but ....

Enter early to get yours.

Don't let all this water fool you, it's summertime and the most important race of the year is about a month out.
