Animas River Days includes these sporting events: stand-up paddling, river surfing, freestyle kayaking, boater cross, raft, and kayak slalom, downriver races, and the local's favorite costumed river parade.
Animas River Days started in 1983 when local paddling legend Nancy Wiley put on the first whitewater rodeo in Durango, CO. As time went on, Animas River Days has drawn paddlers from all around the world to its events.
