Organiser's Description
> _The river we call Delaware, sometimes a friend, sometimes a fury, cuts between the_ _Garden and the Keystone with an immortal rush. Born before its namesake, it has mountain_ _siblings and, unburdened by age, will remain long after us._
> _But marvel at the current and youll realize it can only stare back; it is only a witness to_ _adventure. Like the Delaware, we flow in the present, but while the river takes the time, we_ _take the moments. The revolutions, the romances, the rallies -- theyre ours. And so are the_ _races._
> _Can we outpace these gallons that gallop from the Catskills to Cape May? The answer is_ _less important than the effort. We can and should still try because it is here, and so are we._ _How grateful I am to test the impossibility._
> _The river runs, lets run with it.
> _
