KEEP MOTHER
NATURE SEXY
We are dedicated to leaving a positive impact on local waterways and giving back to the water that gives us adventure, cleanses our souls, and gives us life. We’re unendingly grateful for the gifts of Mother Earth and what better way to express gratitude than to give back.
Real impact, real numbers
Confirmed figures. Year-over-year festival cleanup totals are pending verification and intentionally not shown as headline numbers.
It started as a movement
The Cliff Cruise is a waterway-cleanup movement that uses extreme sports as a catalyst for environmental action — founded by pro cliff diver Travis Sims. The idea is simple and stubborn: the water gives us adventure, so we give back to the water. Over its lifetime, the Cliff Cruise has pulled more than 40,000 lbs of trash out of waterways around the world.
The Chattanooga River Games is what happens when that movement throws the biggest party in the South — and makes everyone who shows up part of the cleanup.
Pro tips
- Bring a refillable bottle. Refill stations beat single-use every time.
- Pack out what you pack in. If you brought it, it leaves with you.
- Bike or walk if you can — the river breathes easier for it.
- See trash? Be the person who picks it up. That’s the whole movement.
The least we can do is show up for it
Our green team is how the festival keeps its promise — cleanup crews, waste sorting, and the hands-on work that makes the mission more than a slogan.
