Back this year on August 29, 2026, the Race For the Rivers aims to get more people down to the water and involved in river conservation. In an effort to make the canoe and kayak event accessible and fun for a wide variety of skill and competition levels, we offer two separate racing events: the 20-Mile Race and the 30-Mile Race (previously 40-Mile Race).

Registration for the 2026 Race for the Rivers is now open. We're looking forward to seeing you all in August!

After registering, be sure to encourage friends and family to make a pledge for your efforts. Special recognition will be given to the top pledge earners.
