Team River Runner
A small group of kayakers started Team River Runner (TRR) in 2004 with the goal of helping veterans at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. They offer paddling opportunities to veterans and their family members in more than 60 locations across the nation. TRR is more than an adaptive sports program; it’s a community that offers opportunities for friendship, new-found purpose, and community service. Join our veterans on their river to recovery!
