Spectators following the race down the canyon or watching from one of the access points along the way watch competitors negotiate Class III rapids that would be challenging to a well rested boater. Add the fatigue of paddling at race pace for twenty-six miles and one can start to understand the difficulty of this event.
The Downriver race is truly an athletic marvel and continues to be one of the most respected (maybe even feared) whitewater races.
The race begins with a mass start at 11 am in the Salida Whitewater Park on Sunday the 19th.
Canoes, Rafts, and SUPs join the fun with earlier starts.
