New This Year

Always wanted to be a Tamer, but could never get people together to form a team? This year we are adding the "Join a Team" registration option. By selecting this option you'll get to choose which leg of the race (kayak, mountain bike, run) you'd like to do as part of a three person relay team.

We will have a running total of how many of each (paddler, biker, runner,) unmatched participants we have. Participants will be grouped in the order that they signed up in. Once the requirements for a full team are met, River Action will be in contact with team members.
