18th Annual River Run Garbage Grab

Aug16
  • Date: August 16, 2019
    Time: 8:00am - 1:00pm
    Location: Saylorville to Yellow Banks Park
    IA

You're invited to the 18th Annual River Run Garbage Grab from Saylorville to Yellowbanks Park on Friday, August 16. Spend the day outdoors cleaning up the Des Moines and Raccoon River. 

This event allows volunteers the opportunity to remove trash from the river or along its adjacent trails--paddlers, rowers, power boaters, walkers, hikers, bicyclers, mountain bikers, birders, etc. All folks are welcome!

Want to participate but don't have a canoe? Sign up for any of our land based clean ups!

Bring your own water bottles! In an effort to reduce unnecessary waste we are not providing bottled water this year so volunteers will need to bring their own water bottles to their event.
