Rendezvous River Sports Karen Oatey PPP

March 31, 2023

Since 1975 the Rendezvous River Sports Karen Oatey Pole Pedal Paddle has served as the annual kickoff to spring in Jackson Hole. The "PPP" is a five-leg race that includes:

Ski/Snowboard Giant Slalom at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
Running leg from Teton Village to Shooting Star maintenance building
Cross Country ski leg at Shooting Star Nordic track
Cycling leg from Shooting Star maintenance facility to Von Gontard's Landing
Paddling leg on the Snake River from Von Gontards landing to Astoria boat ramp

Competitors are invited to race individually or on a team and competitively or for fun. (Either way, costumes are highly encouraged!) The PPP will conclude with a large community celebration at Astoria Hot Springs Park.

IMPORTANT: Please no dogs at any leg of the PPP and if you plan to soak at Astoria, reservations are required.
