The Rock River Anything That Floats Race is happy to congratulate the following winners in our 2017 race. Awesome job each and every one of you! Only one raft got swamped and due to the expert seamanship of the contestants (and hot weather), it looked like they actually enjoyed the dip. Of course, Ski Bronc's safety officials were on hand quickly to assist.
Following are the top three finishers in all three categories. We can't wait to see you all again next year. Hope you had fun!
