The best team building event
while making an impact in Waco.
SAVE THE DATE: April 11, 2026
Team Building + Making Waco beautiful
This is not your ordinary team building event.
Forget the trust falls and join us for our third annual Trash Dash & Bash at Brazos Park East!
The Rivalry on the Brazos is back for this great one-day event, engaging teams for a little friendly competition. Teams compete for the most waste pulled from the river, best team name, most gators caught, and of course whoever does the best trash talk. Each teams registration sponsorship is donating to Keep Waco Beautiful to further our mission of a more vibrant
Waco, Texas.
After the cleanup, participants enjoy a “bash” in the park, with food, drinks, and fun provided. You show up to make Waco beautiful, all while having the best day ever.
Participants will be cleaning up along the shoreline and in the trails of Brazos Park East. Kayaks may be available onsite at the event for a first-come-first-serve basis.
REGISTRATION ENDS March 27, 2026
