Turkey Relay and RTR "alumni" homecoming. Saturday November 30th

CLICK IMAGE FOR RESULTS The Turkey Relay is River Town Racers' rare and ridiculous competition for single kayaks, canoes, SUPs, waterbikes, or . . .? You will be semi-randomly assigned to a team by a coven of evil magicians and forced to sprint around floating turkey carcasses on a course approximately 3k. Coming around a corner you may be momentarily diverted by the passage of Santa's tugboat, scheduled for the same day. Seasonal garb strongly encouraged. Refreshments will help offset any calorie-depletion after the start of holiday season. Note, this date is the Saturday AFTER Thanksgiving. Need a boat for the race? Rentals available from The Floathouse. Contact them in advance of race day at info@thefloathousepetaluma.org.

Our History

In 2014 they found their first summer camper who wanted to go on. Seven years later, in 2021, that same camper won a silver medal at the World Championships for athletes under age 23.

The club formed with Craig Caddell, the camper’s father, as co-founder and in 2018 RTR incorporated as a California 501(c)(3).

Since its founding, RTR has served nearly 100 young people of varied backgrounds and abilities.
