United Rafting Federation
Mission Statement
Establish the USRA as the governing body for whitewater raft racing in the USA by partnering with and providing resources to the regional communities, newly formed and established teams.
What we stand for
Environmental Stewardship
We protect the watersheds in which we operate, promoting responsible practices that minimize our impact on ecosystems and waterways.
Safety
We prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants, ensuring that raft racing is conducted with high standards of safety practices, equipment, and training.
Equity
We foster an equitable and inclusive environment while encouraging the development of competitive raft racing — without discrimination based on race, age, or gender, and without geographical bias. We strive to eliminate disparities and empower individuals of all backgrounds to fully participate in and contribute to the rafting community.
Community
We build respectful partnerships, share knowledge, and provide support to raft racers and those who support them. We cultivate networks to lift up raft racing and build a fun, joyful, and thriving community grounded in fair play and camaraderie among its members.
