Numbered skulls will be placed in the river by our Grim Reaper for kayakers to retrieve & exchange for prizes. Along with some raffle baskets with items donated by the paddling community.

Costumes are encouraged as well as proper white water gear and helmets. Keep an eye on our event page to see what donations will be included. There will be a potluck gathering after the run.

This is a community building event and fundraiser. Last year we raised over $3000 for families impacted by cancer treatment.

Please register with Washington Kayak club to participate in the headhunt. You do not need to be a WKC member to register.

There is a $20 entrance fee and $1 per raffle ticket. We are taking preorders for t-shirts.
All monetary donations and proceeds will be given to Mayday Foundation. You may also donate directly electronically on Maydayfoundation.org (Type KAYAK &  screen shot your donation receipt to show at the registration table. )

Rules: Check in at 9am & shuttle starts at 10:30am. You must be signed in and given a number by 10:30 am to participate.  We have 100 skulls and need an accurate person count to divide between the Pods. We will provide shuttle service from the day use picnic area of KP.  The design of the shuttle service is to give a little time between pods before they reach the Grim Reaper. Shuttle with the people you want to paddle with and put on together!  Please listen to your put in volunteer! After passing the Grim Reaper, proceed to Railroad drop.  You may eddy out there and support others by cheering for them.
