The City invites to join us on June 7th to revive the old tradition of the river raft race!

Kayaks and canoes will launch from the Alameda Bridge at 8:00 AM. Rafts and homemade crafts will launch from Tingley Beach at 10:00 AM. All racers will cross the finish line at the South Diversion Channel, south of the Rio Bravo Bridge.

Winners get fabulous prizes and bragging rights.

So get busy building your raft, gathering your team, and preparing to enjoy a beautiful day, floating down the Rio Grande!
