Team River Runner's 6th Annual Biathlon

Race and Fundraise for Our Wounded Warriors

• WHEN: Sunday, October 3, 2010 (Race check-in starts at 7:00 am)

• WHERE: The Washington Canoe Club, Washington, DC (Georgetown waterfront)

• WHAT: Kayak one mile and run three miles (approximate distances). Team River Runner supplies the kayaks, paddles, and PFDs.

• WHY: Raise money to support Team River Runner. It’s about health and healing through whitewater boating. It’s about giving back to those who have paid an enormous price for the freedoms we all enjoy.

• RACING PAIRS ALLOWED: Register as an individual (complete both the kayak and the run on your own) or with a friend as a pair (one person kayaks, one person runs).

• ADAPTIVE RACERS: Adaptive (disabled soldier, veteran, civilian) racers may hand cycle instead of run. Team River Runner will provide a limited number of hand cycles.

• TEAMS: Create or join a team to fundraise only. Alternatively, create or join a team to fundraise and race. Rumor has it that the team from Liquid Adventures Kayak School is chomping at the bit to race against the team from Potomac Paddle Sports. (When you’re 62 years old, you can’t help dreaming.)

Register today, and start fundraising as an individual, as a pair, or as a member of a team.

Team River Runner would like to offer a huge thanks to Kokatat for four years of generous sponsorship. Kokatat has been by far our strongest and most consistent partner in the paddle sports industry. Every day, in chapters nationwide, Veterans use Kokatat gear to pursue health and healing through paddling. Kokatat has outfitted TRR’s participants for trips to Colorado, Costa Rica, the Grand Canyon and many other places. We would also like to offer special thanks to Lisa Kincaid and Matt Porter of Kokatat for going the extra mile to get us the gear we need when and where we need it so that we can serve the veterans in our program.

Team River Runner (TRR), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, gives active duty servicemembers and veterans an opportunity to find health, healing, and new challenges through whitewater boating and other paddling sports. The benefits of TRR have as much to do with creating a social network and support system as they do with learning water sports skills that provide an exciting adventure lifestyle that suddenly seemed lost due to injury. The program also encourages family members to participate whenever possible.

Team River Runner in Action!

TRR accomplishes its goals through a step-by-step approach in which paddlers learn to control a kayak in a pool, and then move to open water: rivers, lakes and oceans, where they gain additional experience and skills. Once they have mastered the basics, local chapters take participants on paddling trips to challenge and improve skills. TRR also organizes trips to more progressively challenging venues in Colorado, Montana, Florida, USVI and Mexico. Leadership training is provided so that wounded warriors can take their growing adventure skills home to share with veterans in their community.

TRR has Local Chapters across the country. If there is not a TRR Chapter in your area, please Contact Us at our national office in Washington D.C.

Our tax-id number is 20-3838651 and all donations are fully deductible.

Happy Paddling!
