Pewaukee RiverRun

 

RiverRun Coming Back for 40th Year

Saturday, May 11th, 2013

After many requests and encouragement from the community, the Pewaukee Kiwanis have decided to bring back the RiverRun! This year we celebrate 40 years.  There will be positive changes and we encourage paid participation as this is a “fundraiser” and the money goes to charity to help change children’s lives.

The date is Saturday, May 11, 2013.  The course will remain the same.  This RiverRun will see added technology and a few new surprises.  So get those canoes and kayaks ready, mark your calendars and look for more details in the months to come.  Thank you for the support and feedback from the community.  The Kiwanis have heard you and we will continue the RiverRun tradition!

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.

The 8-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 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 race is one of the Pewaukee Kiwanis Club's main fund raisers. The entry fee for each canoe is $30 with all monies raised benefiting Pewaukee.

Businesses and organizations are encouraged to pre-register a team of five or more vessels to compete for a trophy.  An average of the top five vessels on a team will be used to determine the team time.

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 second Saturday in May 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.
