On August 18th, Mutt E Waters River Rentals, The Burkesville - Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce, and Cumberland County Trail Town Committee invite SUP, kayak, and canoe paddlers to participate in the Third Annual Mighty Cumberland River Run. A race now apart of the 2018 Kentucky Waterman Series season is presented by Breaks Interstate Park .The race this year is also part of the Burkesville KY's River Festivus, a weekend event with riverside camping, live music from bands like the " Naked Karate Girls," and other fun activities.The race will benefit the Cumberland County Rescue Squad - an integral part of keeping our rivers and waterways safe and enjoyable.

The Mighty Cumberland River Run is second to none as a venue for a river race. Limestone cliffs extend out, as bald eagles and crystal clear waters are sure to amaze. The river is often shrouded in a beautiful early morning fog and was used extensively as steamboat's transported goods and services in the rivers early days. As the Mighty Cumberland meanders south, you'll be cooled by the always constant year-round river temps in the mid 50's.  Its guaranteed to keep you from getting too hot as you paddle furiously to the finish and almost certain victory. Burkesville is a quiet little river town nestled in the hills of Cumberland County, with plenty of area history, down home country charm and some of the most beautiful scenery. It is Kentucky's best kept secret. So leave your troubles behind and get your race on, at the Cumberland River Festivus and The Mighty Cumberland River Run.
