Float your boat at the 9th annual Rotary River Rally. More than 10,000 spectators will cheer you on as you race your home-made cardboard boat on a 200-yard course on Tempe Town Lake! Every boat is unique – from the design to the costumes to the ability to stay afloat!
Boats are built from corrugated cardboard, glue and paint – no other materials are allowed. Designs get pretty elaborate – rubber duckies, Viking sailing ships, submarines, and log rafts. Teams come from local schools, youth groups, families, individuals and corporations. Awards are given in 3 classes and 2 divisions.
Spectators can check out the boats and vote for their favorite at Friday night’s Advance Boat Preview (4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Tempe Beach Park.) Races are held on Saturday (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) FREE for spectators. Nominal charge for boats. Pre-register on-line or enter a lottery on race day to build your own “Instant boat”.

Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event. Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:
Celebrate. The lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
Remember. Loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.
