The 60 Annual White River Canoe & Kayak Race is officially in the books, and what an incredible few days it was!

As we reflect on this year's race, our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you to every paddler who accepted the challenge on one of the most beautiful rivers in America. Whether you crossed the finish line first or simply pushed yourself to complete the journey, you are what makes this event so special. Your determination, sportsmanship, and love for the river continue to inspire all of us.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to our volunteers, safety crews, checkpoint workers, timers, sponsors, local communities, and the countless family members and friends who supported racers every mile of the way. So much happens behind the scenes to make an event like this possible, and we truly could not do it without each and every one of you.

The White River Canoe & Kayak Race is about more than competition. It's about friendships that are strengthened, new memories that are made, and a shared appreciation for the beauty of the White River and the incredible paddling community that comes together each year. Seeing familiar faces return and welcoming first-time racers reminds us why this tradition has endured for so many years.

To everyone who traveled from near and far to be part of this adventure thank you for making the 2026 race one we'll never forget. We hope you made memories that will last a lifetime, and we look forward to seeing you back on the river again.

If you've ever thought about taking on this amazing challenge, we'd love to have you join us next year! Race information, registration details, and the 2026 race results are available at WhiteRiver120.com.

Until next year... keep paddling, stay safe, and thank you for being part of the White River Canoe & Kayak Race family. ❤️🌊
