Join the CRC, Stephen Burden, and Jarod Horne on a 500-mile, 1-month, $50,000 adventure to
Rediscover the Chattahoochee
Two adventures set out on an expedition to rediscover the Chattahoochee River, one paddle stroke at a time. This high endurance challenge will lead our participants over 500 miles from the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River in the Appalachian Mountains to the Apalachicola river basin where it meets the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way Stephen and Jared will cultivate a new conversation around historic and natural landmarks which embody this sacred river system we so often overlook.
