Boaters must wear life jackets; bikers must wear helmets. All racers must be at least 13 years old.

Food, drink, and prizes will take place after the race at Arch Park (or the Community Center in inclement weather).

Race Specifics: Boat the Yellowstone River from Brogan’s Landing river access to Yankee Jim river access; run from Yankee Jim river access north on Hwy 89 through Yankee Jim Canyon to Carbella green boxes (Tom Miner Cr road); then bike across the Carbella bridge on Tom Miner Cr. road and turn south onto the Old Yellowstone Trail road all the way to Arch Park. All participants are encouraged to preview the race course in advance of race day. River conditions may warrant cancellation of the boat leg of the race.

Boat Drop: All boats should be dropped at Brogan’s Landing river access prior to arrival at registration and packet pickup. Race personnel will be on hand to watch boats before the race starts. We will help you affix your race number to boat before race begins.

All proceeds of the race will go to the Greater Gardiner Community Council and the Gardiner Community Center, which is in dire need of structural stabilization.
