71st Westfield River Wildwater Races

One of the country's oldest whitewater canoe, kayak and SUP races are taking place on the Westfield River once again on Saturday, April 18th. Participants challenge spring whitewater rapids and portage their boats around two dams for a fun and exciting paddling race that is filled with lifelong memories. The race takes place on a river that was given a “Wild & Scenic” designation by an act of Congress 31 years ago. Join us and make your own racing history!

CLASSIC RACE: 8 mile race starting in the center of Huntington with a mix of flat water, class 2 rapids, one class 3 rapid and two portages. All ability levels welcome.

EXPERT RACE: 5 mile race starting at Knightville Dam with challenging conditions including a mix of exciting class 2 and class 3 rapids. Expert paddlers only!!!

MEISTER RACE: Expert Race competitors can choose to enter both events by registering in the Expert Race and then checking off the same class in the Classic Race. The two race times are combined to determine the 1st place finishers. Racers must use the same canoe, kayak or SUP, and the same partner if racing OC-2.

    JACK'S STORY

    The Smile Like Jack Memorial Fund was established in memory of Jack William O’Brien, a loving son and brother, caring friend, and hard working young man that touched the lives of many with his contagious smile. Jack tragically passed away in a snowmobile accident on March 3rd, 2022. In his 20 short years, he had accomplished many things and leaves behind a legacy that is in a caliber of its own. Jack lived life to the fullest. He was always working exceptionally hard to accomplish his set of goals while also living the outdoorsman lifestyle: fishing, hunting, and riding. Our goal is that the Smile Like Jack Memorial Fund will bring other individuals (with similar passions) the opportunity to live their legacy just as Jack would - working immensely hard in the trades and living life to the fullest in the great outdoors.
