It’s the “Greatest Show in All of Sports!” The Green Race, held at the Narrows of the Green River in Saluda, NC, happens the first weekend of November annually. Few are adept enough to compete in this Class IV Creeking speed race, but many hike in to watch the action. FPCers who plan to make the trek in to watch the show are invited to go together as a group so we can show first timers the way and find a central gathering spot for our club members to spectate. If you want to join us for the hike, please check our Discord server for details.

According to the Green Race spectator information:

Unless you are an extremely experienced backcountry hiker we DO NOT recommend spectating this event. The Green River Narrows is no place for small children or pets. The rocks are slick, the river is extreme and danger abounds. We have had serious injuries, from concussions to broken legs, resulting from spectators attempting to watch the race. Spectate in this savage arena AT YOUR OWN RISK.

This is a very challenging hike, so please join us only if you are physically able.
