This 5 Mile event celebrates the awesomeness of outdoor recreation on the South River and supports the efforts of Arundel Rivers Federation! We are a gathering of novice and experienced swimmers & paddlers celebrating the efforts of these organizations and the impact they have on inclusive water access and sustainable rivers. Each participant is required to fundraise at least $100 in addition to their registration fee. The tools to help you reach the fundraising goal will be provided. Fundraisers who exceed $500 will have their registration fee reimbursed. .
Swimmers participate as pods. A pod is 2-4 similarly speeded swimmers. Every pod has a support boat with them. The Solo Swim All 5 Miles option allows for the pod to swim the entire distance with a dedicated paddler. Solo Pods may bring their own paddler, or request that option at check out. The Take a Turn Swim/Paddle pod functions as a relay, taking turns paddling. Swimmers may register with friends as a fully formed pod, or may register individually into one of our paced pods.
No speed pressures or equipment restrictions. Simply invigorating open water adventure with the friends you’ve got or the ones you’ll make! October is a perfect time of year to enjoy swimming & paddling the South River! The cool water temps (Mid – High 60s) and picturesque scenic shorelines collaborate for unforgettable memories! Our untimed events are executed with participant safety and enjoyment as top priorities. We work with community partners to bring experiences that connect you to the sports we love and to outdoor recreation in meaningful ways.

Make a team or go solo as the temperatures start cooling off and the leaves start falling and changing color during our Fall Foliage Adventure Race in and around the stunningly beautiful and historic Jamestown Virginia where the site of the first permanent English settlement in North America. If you love being outdoors, then this is the event for you.
5-hour Race: Our 5-hour fall race is perfect for new/beginner racers or those who just don't want to go all day. We will have biking, canoe/kayak paddling and trekking with plenty of route options taking you through amazing areas of history and scenery. As usual this race will start alongside our bigger race and and consist of some smaller parts from that course. The biking in this course will be very beginner friendly, a mix of gravel and paved surfaces.
24-hour Race: This year we're taking our more seasoned racers for a full 24-hours of adventure! It will consist of multiple parks, going into the night and through to the morning again as you make your way through several conservancies and historical sites with plenty paddling, trekking and biking. If you are new to 24-hour racing, this is going to be a great course to give your first try at 24-hours due to the region not having any crazy elevation/climbs in it, and for our veterans who want to clear it all, don't worry there will be a whole lot of amazing outdoors to explore.
New to adventure racing? What is an adventure race? Simply put, Adventure Racing (AR) is orienteering (navigating with a map and compass) but via multiple modes of travel. Unlike your average 10K/5K, marathon or obstacle course race where there is a strict roped off race course to follow; with orienteering/AR you are given a map with marked checkpoints (CPs), and its up to you/your team to decide & navigate which route you think is most optimal and find as many checkpoints as you can within a time limit. The best teams will work together and help each other to not only go fast, but also efficiently, acquiring the most checkpoints wins (fastest time as tie-breaker).
Spectators are welcome to watch, hang out, take pictures, fish or just picnic in the park during this event but are NOT allowed to assist participants. This is a USARA-sanctioned race.

Walk for Life: Honoring the Journey, Celebrating the Strength
Join us for the Walk for Life, a community-centered event dedicated to breast cancer survivors, caregivers, and the loved ones we hold in our hearts. This is more than just a walk—it’s a movement of hope, healing, and unity. Whether you’re walking in celebration, remembrance, or support, every step tells a story.
This is not a 5K or a race. It’s a peaceful, powerful walk that invites people of all ages and abilities to come together and make every step count. As we walk side by side, we honor the strength of those who’ve battled breast cancer, support those currently in the fight, and remember those we’ve lost with love and purpose.
Event Highlights Include:
Survivor & Caregiver Recognition: A heartfelt moment to honor those who inspire us with their strength and resilience.
Tribute Wall & Photo Area: Share a name, a message, or a memory in honor of someone special.
Pink Lane: Visit health vendors, enjoy wellness screenings (including blood pressure checks), and gather information and support.
Stretch & Snack Zone: Warm up, cool down, and refuel with healthy bites.
Kid Zone: Face painting, balloons, and activities to keep little walkers smiling.
Motivation: Uplifting messages, and a community vibe you’ll never forget.
Whether you walk for a friend, a family member, yourself, or the future—you walk with purpose.
You walk in faith.
You walk with us.
Register Today! Early bird registration ends August 16th. Don’t miss the chance to be part of something meaningful.
Walk for Life—because together, we are stronger.
For Survivors
If you are a breast cancer conqueror, please submit an information form so that we may properly honor you.
Hosted at Pleasants Landing Marina at Lake Anna, this race and venue are amazing. The time trial swim takes place in the southeast portion of Lake Anna, about 1/4 mile from where the “hot side” of Lake Anna empties into the cold side, resulting in water temperatures that are 4-6 degree’s warmer than the rest of the lake at this time of year. So, you can look forward to above average water temperatures in mid-October. The last open water race of the regular season Olympic starts at 9AM and the Sprint starts at 9:30AM, so you can sleep in a little and make it a day at the lake with family and friends. The race site and finish line are surrounded by water and have a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the West; it’s a great place to spend the weekend outside. Watch the race video and register below!
