Help us reach our $20,000 goal by signing up to participate today! You’ll have a ton of fun while supporting a great cause.
We can only accommodate 10 teams, so pull together your family, friends and colleagues and register today! You’ll challenge yourself, have a great time, and provide vital support to enable hundreds of kids to discover the Bronx River this year.
Full schedule of the day’s events:

Paddled the Flotilla before? Please note that this year’s event will be different. Construction of a fish passage will be underway at the southernmost dam on the river at 182nd St, marking the latest milestone in the restoration of the river.
