About this event

Welcome to the Fifth Annual Headhunt on Headworks, Green River Washington.
Numbered skulls will be placed in the river by our Grim Reaper for kayakers to retrieve & exchange for prizes. Additionally, there will be some raffle baskets with items donated by the paddling community.

Costumes are encouraged as well as proper white water gear and helmets. Keep an eye on our event page to see what donations will be included. There will be a potluck gathering after the run.

This is a community building event and fundraiser for Mayday Foundation. Mayday provides immediate, practical financial support to local families coping with cancer while raising kids at home. We believe that no one should be forced out of their home or into bankruptcy as a result of a cancer diagnosis. Last year we raised over $4800 and hope to raise over $5000 this year.

*Each vehicle must have a State park day use pass ($10) or a Discover pass
*Please respect & thank our park rangers.
*Carpool if you can!
*Due to insurance reasons each person must sign a liability waiver. Minors must have their guardians sign for them. *No dogs or animals allowed.

Day of: Check in at 9am & shuttle starts at 10:30am. You must be signed in and given a helmet number by 10:30 am to participate. We have 100 skulls and need an accurate person count to divide between the Pods. We will provide shuttle service from the day use picnic area of KP. The design of the shuttle service is to give a little time between pods before they reach the Grim Reaper. Shuttle with the people you want to paddle with and put on together! Please listen to your put in volunteer! After passing the Grim Reaper, proceed to Railroad drop. You may eddy out there and support others by cheering for them.

Registration cancellations will be accepted until Friday, October 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM
