There will be no spectators this year in the off-chance there is a modified Green Race. 

The level of destruction on the Green River as well as many watersheds of the Southeast is heartbreaking. The sights and sounds of this flood are impossible to describe.  Unfortunately, the bridges and roads that give access to Big Hungry Road and Green River Cove Road have been washed out from both above and below. The powerhouse that controls releases through the Narrows was partially destroyed by a landslide.  Lastly our beloved Green River Narrows has changed completely.  We’re not writing a new chapter here, it’s a new book.

We’re hoping to have a race but we’re pivoting our focus to a film premiere, festival and fundraising. Being that the powerhouse is shut down, we are dependent on rain to have water in the river. The traditional race course has at least one portage depending on flows and with the Big Hungry bridge washed out, the narrows have become even more remote, and there’s no clear trail access.

If you want to help, please consider donating to the restoration of the Green River through Mountain True.
