The 9th Annual River Rat Paddle Challenge on our scenic Ouachita River will be held on September 20, 2025. Proceeds will benefit the Kiroli Foundation and ACE Charter School. The race is 7.7 miles long and includes divisions for paddleboards, canoes, and kayaks (multiple lengths/styles) for men, women, and children.
New this year: A non-timed Mini Mouse Paddle Float will be a ‘fun float’ for 2.9 miles down the Ouachita River. Finish line will be at the same Lazare Park location.
