DESCRIPTION:The Great Russian River Race (GR3) will attract some of the country's top 
 canoeing, kayaking and SUP athletes, local adventurers, recreational 
 paddlers and corporate teams to race in two exciting events. The Russian 
 River has a rich history in hosting river events, dating back to the Water 
 Carnival of 1908. In this tradition, Russian Riverkeeper will host the 2013 
 Great Russian River Race as a fundraiser for the Clean Campus Clean Creeks 
 program and to benefit Sonoma County Regional Parks.\n\nAdvanced and expert 
 paddlers will compete in a 15-mile Bridge-to-Bridge Race, starting at the 
 Alexander Valley Bridge. Recreational and corporate team paddlers will do 
 battle over the 5-mile Rio Lindo Race, starting north of Healdsburg.  Both 
 races will finish at the Healdsburg Memorial Bridge, welcomed by the free 
 River Race Party featuring great food, local beer & wine and live music on 
 the banks of the River. Not racing? Come to the free party and cheer on the 
 racers as they cross the Finish Line.\n\nThe emphasis of the Great Russian 
 River Race is adventure, competition and fun. Race winners will share over 
 $5,000 in cash and prizes. The two races are designed to accommodate 
 professional athletes, corporate and social teams as well as families. 
 Professional outfitter River's Edge Kayak and Canoe will manage the river 
 operations, safety and logistics for the race. \n\n"We are so excited to 
 partner with Russian Riverkeeper to put on this fantastic event. It will be 
 great fun for participants and spectators alike, and help us make the 
 historic Veterans Memorial Beach swimming hole available this summer," 
 stated Sonoma County Regional Parks Director Caryl Hart. "This is a great 
 example of the new model for sustainable parks - parks and their partners 
 working together to serve our community."\n\nEntries are now open and we 
 recommend that interested paddlers visit the website and sign up while 
 there is still space. Early registration discount ends May 1st.\n
