About the Event
For more than six decades, paddlers have gathered on the West Branch Susquehanna River to compete, connect, and celebrate the spirit of canoe racing.
If this is our final year, we invite all past participants, supporters, and community members to join us and help make it a memorable celebration of tradition and sportsmanship.
