Muheakantuck
The River that Flows Both Ways

Long before what we modernly know as the Hudson River, the indigenous Lenni Lenape people called the river Muheakantuck, "The River that Flows Both Ways." The river does indeed do that in our area with strong currents switching direction throughout the day. That is one of the challenges athletes will face at the Hudson River Cup as the current when they start the race would be completely different at the finish.

The 2025 Hudson River Cup jersey commemorates those swift and shifting currents.  Sales are now open for paddlers registering for the race.
