Event Description

Tucked along the banks of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River and in the shadows of the mountains, this race is beautiful, scenic, and fun. Cool-off with a fun race which is guaranteed to get you wet! Then enjoy post-race wine at our awards ceremony at Muse Vineyards within minutes of the finish line!
