SURPRISING STUFF

The Red Bull Rush is back for its second year in Lake Geneva.
Red Bull is a very popular energy drink, and it brings some of that energy to Lake Geneva. The Lake Geneva Mail Boat Jumpers are great fun to watch, and the mail delivery by boat is a charming tradition around Geneva Lake. Red Bull is turning it up a notch and making it a competitive foot race. This is a free public event. The Red Bull Rush Delivery event will take place on September 19th at the Riviera beach. Forty runners will sprint across the piers and jump onto a moving boat, simulating the mail boat jumpers. Spectators can enjoy the competition while listening to music and may even go home with some Red Bull giveaways.

Most of the event will take place out on the water, with seating open to everyone on the shore, first come, first served, so you might want to get your spot early. Doors will open at 11 a.m. At noon, qualifying rounds will begin. Final rounds will start at 3 p.m. Participants in this high-energy competition must be 18 years or older. Red Bull is not new to events just like this all over the world, and Lake Geneva is excited to be added to the list.
