TEAM RIVER RUNNER – JOHNSON CITY

The Johnson City chapter of TRR is active and growing. We would love to have you and your family join our organization!

We have pool sessions weekly in the winter and river training during the warm summer days. We meet on Wednesday evenings for training on kayaking basics, paddle strokes, rolling a kayak, and much more.

We look forward to meeting you and seeing you on the river.
