It started with a plan penciled on a Carl's Jr. napkin to bring back a paddling event to Arizona. In 2009, launching from the Riverside Lodge Resort, 75 paddlers raced along the scenic route of Parker, Arizona down to a waiting imu, and ADR was born. With that same pioneering spirit, this year promises so much more!
The short course race starts for OC6, V1, OC-1, OC-2,and finishes in front of the Pirate's Den. The short course is approximately 5 miles. Race half way upriver along the Arizona side of the Colorado River to River Shore Resort and Motel where a left hand turn returns you along the California side to the finish line.
SUP and all other small paddle crafts race approximately 1 5 miles loop for short course and 2 loops for the long course. The starts and finishes happen in front of the Pirate's Den. Race downriver to Bluewater Casino where a left hand turn returns you along the Arizona side to the finish line.
Our newest race is open to unlimited and traditional outrigger 6 man canoes. The 20+ mile course starts and finishes in front of the Pirate's Den. 6 paddlers race upstream toward's the Parker Dam, switch out with paddlers who race back along the California side to the finish line. This year, it is open to OC-6 and V-6 canoes in a single open co-ed division who are made up with a minimum of 4 women.
The final outrigger race of the day is open to unlimited and traditional outrigger canoes. The approximately 12 mile course starts and finishes in front of the Pirate's Den. Roughly 6 miles up upriver takes where a left hand turn returns you along the California side to the finish line.
ADR started with a conversation to bring a paddle race back to Arizona. On the way to a SCORA directors meeting in Southern California, Steve Benson and John Burns penciled together a plan on a napkin from Carls Jr. After laying out the plan and a 75 entry field, a pig cooked in an underground imu by Uncle Dino and friends from River Lodge Resort, the event was official. The following year it was going to be bigger but needed the experience from a paddler, biker and event coordinator Larry Smith. Larry had held the biggest bicycle race in Arizona and had a successful run called Another Dam Race. It was decided to keep the name.
The ultimate paddling event is coming. Register today to be a part it.
