Known for attracting top professional kayakers and amateur athletes from around the world, the Reno River Festival returns in 2008 to celebrate five years on the Truckee River. With a new vision and new ownership, the three-day event ventures beyond whitewater and boating competitions to showcase a new avenue of adventure. Expect land-based competitions including mountain bike speed trials and the “Run Amuck” fun run, bringing a whole new class of competitive athletes to downtown Reno’s Truckee River Whitewater Park at Wingfield. The adventure begins May 9, and also includes instructional clinics, an industry expo featuring the hottest outdoor products on the market, food and beer gardens, live music and plenty of nighttime activities to keep guests entertained.
