The Golden Community Rodeo Series is back! Mark Your calendars, June 13st and 20th will be the Classic Kayak Rodeo’s and June 27 will be the downriver races. If the river flow is too high, we have to keep delaying it. Last year we had it in July!
Everyone is welcome to compete, no matter your skill level... or just come cheer on the kayakers! This year the Down River Fun Race is for ALL boaters on June 27th. So, bring your kayak, SUP, or canoe and participate in the race. You'll be entered for your chance to win the prizes!
¬I would like to thank Shred Ready a local company for their generous donation to the Golden Rodeo. Shred Ready is located in Salida, Colorado. “Obsessed for 18 years with helmet manufacturing, design and materials, SR was founded with the principles of delivering superior protective gear with the value for the sport our founder loved… whitewater kayaking.” BUY LOCAL.
The GCRS is organized, managed and run exclusively by local volunteers (nonprofit) whose common goal is to make every local boater and spectator feel welcome - from the meekest "newbie" paddler to the local freestyle hero.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO

We will be giving away tons of swag.
