Riverland Adventure Challenge
Experience Riverland . . .
- the history
- the landscape
- the challenge
The Riverland Adventure Challenge invites you to enjoy the beauty of the North Saskatchewan River valley by canoeing from Fort George – Buckingham House (FG-BH) historic site, 10 km; running or walking, 5 km; then cycling along Alberta’s Iron Horse Trail, 15 km, returning to FG-BH.
This event will take from two – five hours, depending on your skill levels. Costumed interpreters will guide you on your journey and a voyageur meal awaits you at the finish line.
Fur traders, including David Thompson, traveled this route over two hundred years ago. Support volunteers will bring canoes back to FG-BH, provide water stations and administer first aid.
This stretch of the river is flat paddling, although it will be swift following the spring melt.
This event is not a race; it is a personal challenge. Prizes will be awarded to the oldest team, youngest team (combined age), team traveling the farthest distance and best costumes.
