The Nelson Downriver Race is intended for anyone interested in canoe or kayak racing - from novices to national champions. Our goal is to promote recreation, conservation and sportsmanship through paddling rivers and lakes in and around Nelson County, Virginia. The race is about 8.4-miles (Class I-II) on the Tye River starting along N. Powell's Island Road about 2-miles downstream from Tye River Depot and finishing about 1/4-mile upstream of the confluence with Rucker's Run (See map). Race day registration available at the start. One of the most fun races in VA. A cookout will follow the competition.  Â
