Team River Runner PDX (TRRPDX), is located in Portland, Oregon. We are part of a national program (www.teamriverrunner.org) to bring health and healing through the form of whitewater recreation to military veterans. Team River Runner (TRR) is a non-profit company that was founded in Washington DC by kayakers in 2004. It is primarily run by volunteers. Team River Runner (TRR) gives military veterans and their family members an opportunity to find health, healing, and new challenges through whitewater boating and other paddling sports. The benefits of TRR have as much to do with social support, finding emotional strength and re-creating personal identity as they do with athletic activity.
