ANother dam Race year 14
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, year 14 promises so much more!

About ADR
From the ground up to today
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.
