The Chattahoochee River got some sprucing up from Renew Our Rivers volunteers in Phenix City, Alabama, and Columbus, Georgia, in advance of two major events taking place this week in the two communities.

Multiple partners in the region, including the East Alabama Chamber of Commerce, worked together to prepare the river as the host site for the International Canoe Federation (ICF) Freestyle World Cup, which began Oct. 3. More than 100 competitors from around the world were scheduled to take part in the event.

The World Cup continues through the weekend with the finals coinciding with the inaugural RushSouth Outdoor Festival taking place Oct. 7-8.
