Race the River: Mission Reach starts at 9:00 AM on May 16, 2026, in San Antonio, giving you time to arrive the night before without an early pre-dawn wake-up. The event launches from 331 Roosevelt Avenue and offers two paddle sports distances: 5 miles and 7 miles. Entry costs between $25 and $30, making it an affordable option for a weekend race trip. If you're planning to compete, factor in travel time to downtown San Antonio and allow time for packet pickup and pre-race logistics. The mid-May timing in Texas means warm weather conditions typical for the region during that season.

From the Race Organizer
The San Antonio River Authority, together with the San Antonio River Foundation, welcomes you to the 2026 Race the River Paddle Series! Canoe and kayakers of all skill levels are invited to participate at each adventure race throughout the San Antonio River Basin. The Mission Reach Race is the first race of the series. This 7-mile pro race, or 5-mile amateur race, will take you through Texas’ largest ecological restoration project along the extension of the San Antonio Riverwalk. An award ceremony and racer celebrations will follow each race. Commemorative patches will be given to all finishers, and trophies will be given to top finishers of each category.
