High water, swift moving currents and muddy floodplains highlighted CRBI's 7 Hills 3 Rivers Adventure Race held Sept. 26, just five days after torrential rains soaked North Georgia.

Despite these challenges, the racers persevered to post impressive times. The fastest finishers completed the course in about three hours.The course included more than four miles of running, nine miles of cycling and three miles of paddling.Some 100 people competed in the event that helped raise funds for CRBI's education, advocacy, water monitoring and restoration programs.
