Going to be fun!
Every August we gather on the banks of the Colorado River for a chance to see our friends from across the region, share about the stewardship work we’ve been dedicated to all year, celebrate late season flows and go fast through one of the most impressive river canyons in the region. Just like this crew 📸 Rapid Image. We will be hosting the Gore Race as well as a (very short) virtual event with a race wrap up, membership prize drawing, and stewardship news. There will be no festival or camping this year.
The 32nd annual Gore Race is on August 28th. ONLINE REGISTRATION ONLY. Link in bio. There will be no onsite or last minute registrations accepted. Online registration closes at 6pm on August 27th.
