The Texas Water Safari, held annually since 1963, is a premier outdoor event in Central Texas, where participants paddle 260 miles from San Marcos to Seadrift. Taking place in June, the race attracts competitors seeking a challenging adventure, with winners finishing in under two days but most taking several nights. Unique to this race, paddlers can navigate through Aquarena Springs, a protected area, providing a stunning backdrop. The event emphasizes the spirit of competition for pride rather than prizes, making it a celebration of Texas culture and camaraderie in nature.
"Not only does it have a great lore in Central Texas, but nationally and internationally, there's nothing like it in the world. We don't offer prize money."
"The race begins in Aquarena Springs, the crystal-clear headwaters of the San Marcos River, which is typically off-limits to boats and canoes."
