Pewaukee RiverRun
River Cleanup
The Pewaukee RiverRun canoe and kayak race began in 1973 by several businessmen in the quiet Village of Pewaukee. The purpose was twofold: to bring attention to the beauty of the Pewaukee River that can only be seen from the river and to clean the river yearly to preserve that beauty. And it's grown to what it is today. For the past 35 years, the last Saturday in April is set aside for this event. The winners are determined by elapsed time and six different classes to make competing fair to all. Serious competitors, families and just-for-fun enthusiasts enjoy the paddle. The 6-mile race begins in Pewaukee at Hammel Machine Products on East Wisconsin Avenue (Hwy M) at the river, and ends at the Rotary Building and Tower in Frame Park, Waukesha. The Pewaukee River joins the Fox River about a mile upstream from Frame Park. The race is one of the Pewaukee Kiwanis Club's main fund raisers. The entry fee for each canoe is $25 with all monies raised benefiting Pewaukee. The annual race attracts about 150 canoes with hundreds of spectators at the start, along the river and at Frame Park. Food and beverages are available at the park along with a roaring fire to dry out any damp canoeists. Set aside the last Saturday in April now for this fun event. You can print a copy of the registration form here. For additional information, please contact us by email, or by calling Koepp Realty at (262) 691-2700.
