Join the river cleanup post awards! Bring your boat or reserve one in ours and help give back to the Sacramento River!

The Cal100 is an amazing one day paddling adventure down the beautiful Sacramento River. Tackle the 100 miles between Redding and Chico as a solo paddler, or do the four legs with a relay team. New for 2016 is an approximately 25 mile (Leg 1) and 50 mile (Leg 1 & 2) event.

See snow capped mountains as you head down river through oak forests, open plains, and lava flows. Bald eagles and osprey soar overhead and otter pause their hunt for fish to watch you paddle by. The swift moving river will keep you focused with many riffles, and a few class 1 & 2 rapids to speed you down to Chico. We promise it is an experience you’ll always remember.

Crafts and Classes

Kayaks, Canoes and Paddleboards are all welcome to participate, and you can enter as solo, double or open (you choose). You (and your team) and your craft must be competent in moving water.

Sign up for the adventure class if going the distance is your goal. All finishers will receive a medal to celebrate their accomplishment.

Sign up for the competitive class if you are an experienced racer or using a racing craft. Medals will be awarded for all divisions with at least three participants.
