Ready to Race on the Gauley?

The ANIMAL Upper Gauley Race is a downriver sprint on a legendary section of river. Racers paddle 9 miles, negotiate the 'Big Five' Rapids on the Upper Gauley, and then finish at the big drop known as Sweet's Falls. This world-class event has become the end of the season celebration for people that love the Upper Gauley River.

In it's 8th year, the Upper Gauley Race has grown in notoriety and participation. Racers come from all segments of the paddling community: World Champion Rodeo Boaters, U.S. Wildwater Team members, professional videographers as well as amateur recreational boaters that have a personal goal.
