The River Race of Two Cities is more than just a 12.5-mile canoe/kayak marathon on the Cedar River, it’s a celebration of the natural resources and outdoor recreation opportunities in Gladwin County. Until recently, this stretch of the Cedar River was unnavigable due to downed trees and debris obstructing the waterway. The community has since rallied with the Gladwin Conservation District to transform the Cedar River into a navigable waterway that balances recreation with ecological health.
Join us this Memorial Day Weekend to support a fun and competitive event as well as the ongoing work to protect and enhance our natural environment. Events like this highlight the importance of preserving resources like rivers, parks, and wildlife habitat for future generations to enjoy. We look forward to seeing the community on race day as we come together to paddle, celebrate, and appreciate the beauty of Gladwin County’s natural resources! Registration is open for the Kickoff Fun Run/Walk/Float, Sunset/Glowstick Float, Ross Lake Sprint Races, and of course, the 12.5 mile Canoe/Kayak Marathon!
