25 Yard Dash Cardboard Boat Race

Not everyone is a marathon paddler, some of us like get a little silly and see who can float in a cardboard boat!

The 25 Yard Dash Cardboard Boat Race is exactly that! Starting and finishing at Ross Lake Park in Beaverton, this out-and-back time trial race will be performed in small heats to provide that competitive edge and test your paddling skills!

Bring your creativity and DIY boats to race. Divisions will be further split by age, gender, and paddling experience with winners in each category. Stick around for the awards ceremony to honor your fellow racers and for your chance to step up on the podium and receive a custom-engraved River Race of Two Cities award!
