Missed out on the fun this year? Join Riverways and our partners for our third annual Big Paddle in 2027! Keep an eye on this page for updates and registration information.

The Two Cities, One River Challenge serves to highlight the importance of equitable access to clean, healthy waterways in both Philadelphia and Camden’s communities by empowering people of all backgrounds and comfort levels to get on the water and explore their cities from a new perspective. With rest stops located along the Tidal Delaware River Trail, the paddle also aims to introduce participants to new spaces and places to engage with nature and their waterways.

Whether you’re paddling with us or providing on-water or on-land support, there’s a place for everyone in the movement for clean, healthy waterways.
