The 26th Annual Three Rivers Run
Bagnell Dam to the St. Louis Arch.........

Dear Friend,
The 26th Annual Three Rivers Run event is SET! We’d love to see you there! All money raised will go to the Tri-County YMCA of the Ozarks (a non-profit organization located in Osage Beach) & is used to fund our scholarship program that allows lake area youths to use the YMCA to it’s full potential. The run is set for Wednesday, July 22nd & the pre-run party is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21st, 6:00 P.M. at Dog Days Bar & Grill, featuring a silent auction (any donations are greatly appreciated!) & appetizers. The run begins Wednesday morning on the Osage River (at the Bagnell Dam for more experienced riders or at the Mari Osa Delta campground in Jefferson City for Jet Boats & less experienced riders), transitioning to the Missouri River & then onto the Mississippi, where it will end at the St. Louis Arch. YOU will be responsible for the transportation of your personal watercraft (PWC) to the launch area prior to starting the run as well as at the conclusion in St. Louis at the Arch. If you need assistance with transportation please contact us before the day of the run.

NEW Lower Entry fee is $500 & includes fuel, oil, lunch & the after - party at the Ameristar Hotel & Casino. You may also add a passenger to your PWC for just $100!

A big THANK YOU to our main sponsor Surdyke Yamaha in Osage Beach for donating our grand prize raffle item again this year! Surdyke is donating a Waverunner. The details and value will be made public soon as the manufacturer, Yamaha Watercraft in Newnan Ga, is sorting out options. Raffle tickets are $20 each & tickets can be sold to pay for your entry fee. Please contact the YMCA at 573-348-9230 for more information.
 

Thank you so much for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you Tuesday, July 21st at Dog Days & on Wednesday, July 22nd for the 26th Annual Three Rivers Run!
Sincerely,
Three Rivers Run Committee
