Marathon Canoe Race & Adventure
Challenge
Bastrop to Columbus, Texas
August 30, 2008
This 100 mile marathon canoe race and adventure challenge down the scenic
Colorado River will test your mental and physical strength, while giving you
some of the best views the river has to offer. The Colorado River 100 starts in
the historic city of Bastrop and finishes 100 miles down river in the majestic
town of Columbus. This portion of the river has been described as free-flowing
and virtually hazard -free. It is an excellent river choice for the recreational paddler, while still challenging the experienced racer and his abilities to read
the river for the cleanest lines. While the course may not be technically
difficult, the nature of this race should not be taken lightly. This is an
extreme endurance event with cut off times. Paddlers will have to endure Texas
heat, night travel, fatigue, river critters and the elements in order to
complete this challenge within 36 hours. Upon completion of the Colorado River
100, paddlers will have the satisfaction of knowing they have completed one of
the most difficult endurance events Texas has to offer. Thanks to our generous
sponsors, all paddlers will receive mementos of this challenge and be eligible
for gift drawings. The more competitive paddlers will have the opportunity to
race against the best in their class for cash awards, while the overall fastest
record setting time will receive a special bonus cash award.
