Let us begin with this sentence from our race waiver:
“I acknowledge that running the Green is exceedingly dangerous, and that it entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to my property, or to third parties.”
If you are thinking about racing The Green River Narrows Race we recommend you reconsider. This is for seasoned professionals only. If you do not feel comfortable running the Green River Narrows top to bottom without stopping send us an email to info@amongstit.com and we can get you set up as a volunteer.
Having said that this is the Super Bowl of whitewater kayaking and something we hope every paddler and/or outdoor sports fan can experience. Whether hiking in to watch or stepping up to the start line below is all the information you need about the 20th Annual Green River Narrows Race, “What’s Your Excuse?”!
