Welcome to the official home of the 14th Annual Tennessee River 600!
Are you an avid Personal Watercraft (PWC) rider, or do you know someone who is? If you are interested in spending eight days cruising 600 miles on the Tennessee River and raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network, then this is the place for you!
To find out what the Tennessee River 600 is really all about (and no, it is not a race), check out our About Us page. If you don’t have enough time in your schedule to join us for the entire trip, check out our 2010 Itinerary and consider joining us for just a day or two. Hopefully, we’ll see you on the water!

We had to make a minor correction to the itinerary. For those that are travelling to Chickauga Marina on Sunday, you cannot lock through Fort Loudon Lock until 10:00 AM EDT at the earliest as that is when the lock opens. We know that this is going to put those participants behind schedule, but at least we all will be able to eat breakfast together at Louisville Landing Marina!
The 14th Annual Tennessee River 600 is only days away from launching in Knoxville!! Man, oh man, how the time went by fast!!! We’ve got t-shirts and tank tops ready! We’ve coordinated with all the Lock Masters and made plans to trailer around Chickamauga Lock! We’ve counted all the participants and finalized the itinerary (and made it available for download so you can print it out and carry it with you on the trip). We feel like we’re forgetting something and if we are please bear with us and we’ll figure it out. But the way we see it is the only thing left to do is get in the water and ride!!
This year has been a surprising year as far as participants. We can’t remember when the last time we had so many people sign up right before the event! There will be (as of this writing) 76 participants gathering in Knoxville representing 12 states! Some are coming as far as Texas, Washington, and New York to take part in this! We anticipate (at least by our count) 45 personal watercraft on the trip and that’s going to make for some great fun at the locks and marinas we visit while we raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Thanks to all the participants for making this event so special and fun!
Now, we’ve checked our packing list so you make sure you check yours! Have safe travels to Knoxville and we’ll see you all in a couple of days!
