🛶 The San Antonio River Authority and the San Antonio River Foundation invite you to the second stop of the 2026 Race the River series at the SASPAMCO Paddling Trail.
Take on a scenic and untamed stretch of river as you choose between the 6-mile amateur course or the 12-mile pro course. This endurance challenge brings paddlers together from across Texas for a test of grit, speed, and strategy.
All finishers will receive a commemorative patch, and we’ll celebrate your achievement with a post-race gathering and awards ceremony for top competitors.
Do you have what it takes? The adventure continues!
