Comments: "There is not a better race event out there! The pre-race dinner and post-race food are by and large the BEST offered. Karah organizes a safe and fun event that brings swimmers together, with great swag included. Everyone should do this swim at least once."

Comments: "One of my favorites! A great end to the swim year. I've done StS twice and have had a blast both times. The river is gorgeous (and fast!). My kayakers have commented on the raptors they've seen while paddling. After party is fun and their finisher prizes are the best!"
