A Weekend drenched in adrenaline!

Grab your life vests, your choice of floating transportation and hit the water for the annual trek down the Elk River.

Race Course:

The normal race course starts at the CR 15/3 bridge in Curtin and finishes at Bakers Island in downtown Webster Springs, Approximately 5 miles in length. American Whitewater’s description of this river section (shown below) includes approximately 6.6 miles from Bergoo to Curtin:

Bergoo to Webster Springs

  • Class II-II(IV)
  • 11.6 miles
  • Average Gradient 30 fpm

From Bergoo to the CR 15/3 Bridge that goes to Curtin the rapids are mostly of the cobble bar variety.

***(RACE COURSE SECTION) From this bridge downstream the rapid makers are mostly small ledges with the biggest one known as Parcoal Falls or the PX. Paddlers unfamiliar with this rapid should scout river right before or sneak far left.

Organizers reserve the right to change river sections based on water levels and conditions at the time of the race.
