COURSE DETAILS
In 2017 we have these events to choose from:
Our Original "Fun" Course sprint welcomes beginning, recreational and expert paddlers. Participants paddle a short rapid and then some flatwater, performing one "fun" task along the way. We provide kayaks and safety gear if requested. All are welcome to "pay what they can." (A $25 donation is suggested.) We love stand up paddleboards, especially inflatables.
Our Down River Race runs down the Glendale Narrows water trail. Experienced adult paddlers with their own craft and gear navigate rocky rapids, dead ends, shallow areas rock gardens, and a portage to the finish line! Whew!
This year, the Multisport Relay combines paddling (again, SUPs welcome), cycling and running in three legs of a half-mile section of the river and adjacent bike path. Only one "captain" should register for the team at this site.
New this year is our Boat Pageant and Parade featuring surprise celebrity judging and audience voting. More details about how to enter are here:

PARKING AND GEAR DROP OFF DETAILS
Participants will be dropping off their boards or boards between 9 a.m. and noon at the 2900 Clearwater St. put in on September 9. Personal vessels used in the "Fun" and Multisport races should be picked up at the end of Gilroy Street, approximately 3015 Gilroy. Boat Floats may also exit the river here.
Parking restrictions in the 2-hour parking zone ONLY on Ripple Street just off Fletcher Drive will be waived for the day thanks to the help of Council District 13. (Red zones remain off limits.) Please be sensitive to the residential nature of the
neighborhood you will pass through. Being here is a privilege we do not
want to lose.
Once
you have registered, please let us know at lariverbeach@gmail.com if
you will be dropping off your personal boat and/or bike for use.
See "Directions" tab for how to Google precise location information.
