The Willamette River Relay is the product of a long-standing partnership between Calapooia Watershed Council and Calapooia Brewing Company. Both partners wanted to create a fun, family friendly event that would highlight the outdoor recreation, shopping, dining, and tourism attractions in Historic Downtown Albany as well as the many restoration and conservation projects happening around Albany to improve the health of the Willamette River.

Willamette River Relay invites individual competitors or teams of two, three of four to compete in either the short or long paddle races. The short paddle course starts at Hyak Park and the long course at Michael's Landing in Corvallis - each ends with a post-race river celebration at Bryant Park in Albany.

Relay racers will be welcomed by a post-race celebration in the park with food and beverage garden featuring Calapooia Brewing Company brews and 2 Towns Ciderhouse Cider!
