Why August in TEXAS?
I have always been a little interested in this race but when I think of August in the deep piney woods of SE Texas,… I just gotta shake my head and admit to a weak will. I mean seriously why couldn’t they do it in April or October for crying out loud! Much better weather and probably better flows to boot. I grew up in Dallas so I am familiar with Texas weather so I guess it just goes along with the Texas Tough mentality. Don’t Mess with Texas!
Why August? Because
it is a lot cooler than September

The race is not too bad even in August. Most of the race course is in the shade. If the water level is too low the Neches River Authority helps us out by raising the water level. The club members cut out and make the river more nagivable for both canoes and kayaks. The race was started by college students as a fundraiser for TVCC scholarships.
