Ready for a January River Crossing?

We have seen every type of weather for this race over the years! It has been 85 degrees and bone dry and it has been 35 degrees with extremely slippery trails and the river uncrossable. Lean into it, have fun and just say WTF!

If you haven’t come out before, you are missing out on gorgeous trails, epic water crossings, hoodies, mega finisher’s medals, bumper stickers, fun prizes, great food and beer!  What better way to enjoy a mid-winter day!
