This summer grab a kayak, paddle board, or canoe and join EKI & friends for the fourth annual Bluegrass River Run (BRR), one of the largest paddlesports event in Kentucky. This year we’re doing it different , drastically downsizing the participation numbers for the event, and taking steps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The paddlesports race component of the event will be hosted on 8/1 and the float component will be hosted TBD.
The 19 mile Boonesborough to Valley View Challenge and the 6 mile Clay Ferry’s Run are for paddlers who want a fitness challenge. All race courses start at Fort Boonesborough State Park paddling along pool 9 of the Kentucky River, which is located just south of Lexington. The journey allows participants to take in the incredible beauty of the 60+ ft cliffs of the palisades and the socially distanced camaraderie of regional paddlers.
