Event Details
We’ve moved! We’re now on the scenic North Branch of the Chicago River! Join us and explore more of what the Chicago River can offer.
Who Friends of the Chicago River and hundreds of paddlers, pedalers, volunteers, and spectators. From first-time paddlers to avid bikers, and from families to corporate teams, Flatwater Classic participants power down the river or the bike trail - either competing for the first place medal, or just enjoying the beautiful scenery.
What The Chicago River Flatwater Classic is the only canoe, kayak, and bike race on and along the Chicago River. The race begins with our Corporate Team Challenge, and then opens up to individual racers and non-competitive participants.
For 11 years, Friends of the Chicago River has been hosting the Flatwater Classic in the downtown canyons to create visibility around the importance of improving our water quality standards by showing that hundreds of people use the Chicago River recreationally. And we were successful! Our ever growing presence on the Chicago River helped convinced the Illinois Pollution Control Board that we need new water quality standards.
We’ve moved the Flatwater Classic to the North Branch to create the same level of visibility around dam modification. Paddlers will portage two dams on their way to the finish line - and we’re working with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County to remove or modify these dams. Built in the early 1900’s, these dams serve no purpose today, and in fact, severely inhibit fish and paddler passage along the North Branch.
Where The race starts just south of the Willow Road Dam in the Skokie Lagoons. Paddlers make their way 6½ miles downstream to the finish line in Linne Woods. While navigating the meandering flow of the North Branch, paddlers will go through scenic Forest Preserves (perfect for wildlife spotting). Pedalers will race 16 miles around the Skokie Lagoons, around the perimeter of the Chicago Botanic Garden, and right alongside the Chicago River on the North Branch Bicycle Trail.
Registration fees go towards our work to make the Chicago River a better place and are non-refundable. Thanks for joining us in our efforts!
