More Than a Race
Why We Race
For Our Veterans
Proceeds bring veterans to St. John for adaptive paddlesports, leadership development, connection, and healing adventures.
For St. John
Funds raised are invested back into the island as Team River Runner uses local lodging, transportation, restaurants, shops, and other businesses.
Awards & Race Spirit
This year we’re going Red, White & Splash! Teams and spectators: bring the spirit and make race day as colorful and chaotic as ever. Race-day awards and special recognition are part of the celebration.
Costume and theme-prize details will be posted once finalized.
