Do you remember Boat Race? This spring, something even crazier is coming – an epic adventure on the Emajõgi River awaits you!

🚣‍♂️ “Can’t Get Across the Emajõgi” – Can you build a raft and race to victory? 🚣‍♀️

Come and put your engineering skills and speed to the test! As part of the Tartu Student Days Spring Festival, the legendary “Can’t Get Across the Emajõgi” competition challenges two-person teams to build a raft in 2.5 hours and then race it down the Emajõgi River to the Arch Bridge as fast as possible.🏁

🔥 What’s in store for participants?
✅ Build your own raft 🛶
✅ Race against other teams in speed and ingenuity
✅ Warm up in a hot tub after the race ♨️

🎟️ Participation is FREE!
⛑️ Safety first! Helmets and life vests will be provided by the organizers.

🔞 The competition is for adults (18+) only
👕 It’s possible to stay dry, but… be prepared for the opposite! Bring a change of clothes just in case the river wins. 😏

👉 Registration starts on 7th of April.



Can’t Get Across the Emajõgi was inspired by an earlier event Paadiralli.

This year, the event is taking place for the second time in the history of Tartu Student Days.

The event got its name from the folk song Uhti Uhti Uhkesti, created by Ado Grenzstein.
