Ride the River: 29th Annual Three Rivers Run Brings Thrills, Scenery and Community Spirit
This summer, adventure seekers and water enthusiasts are revving up for one of Missouri’s most exhilarating and scenic aquatic events: the 29th Annual Three Rivers Run, hosted by the Tri-County YMCA of the Ozarks.
Held on July 23, 2025, this one-of-a-kind PWC (personal watercraft) ride takes participants on a breathtaking journey from Mari Osa Delta in Jefferson City to the iconic St. Louis Arch, following the mighty Osage and Missouri Rivers. The event has become a hallmark of the season for locals and visitors alike, blending adrenaline-pumping fun with community purpose.
A Ride Like No Other
Riders will experience more than just the roar of engines and the rush of open water. The $500 entry fee covers gas, oil, lunch and a post-run celebration at the luxurious Hollywood Casino & Hotel in St. Charles. There’s also a pre-party at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach on July 22 at 6 p.m., where participants can pick up their event packets, meet fellow riders and get pumped for the ride ahead.
Those bringing a passenger can do so for an additional $100 co-rider fee, making this event ideal for couples or friends looking to share an unforgettable summer experience.
