Cleveland's Premier Roller Derby League
Twenty Years of Grit
Founded in 2006, Burning River Roller Derby is a skater-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit WFTDA league for women and people of marginalized genders.
More Than a Sports League
Burning River Roller Derby is a community-driven nonprofit where athleticism meets activism. For twenty years, we've built a space where women and people of marginalized genders find strength, leadership, and belonging through the sport of flat-track roller derby. Our skaters, officials, and volunteers proudly represent Cleveland through fierce competition and fierce community service.
