You won't want to miss this unique new urban experience in the heart of Los Angeles! One hundred beginning, intermediate and advanced kayakers will tackle a 3/4-mile stretch of the Glendale Narrows in a individually timed sprint race for glory (and cool T-shirts and swag). Contestants compete in various age- and skill-level categories for awards and other prizes. Boat and gear rental is included. Space is limited to just 100 participants; first-come, first-served.

For ADVANCED adult paddlers, there is a separate 3 mile down river race for the first 25 paddlers that sign up! This race is also individually timed, but doesn't have boat or gear rental. Paddlers are epected to have access to their own boats and gear. Paddlers will find their way through a river having small rocky rapids, dead ends, shallow areas with boulders, and a portage to the finish line!
