35th Annual Buffalo Bayou Regatta Draws 300 Participants


March 24, 2007
The 35th annual Buffalo Bayou Regatta was a big success this year, drawing almost 300 participants racing down the Buffalo Bayou in canoes and kayaks. The regatta is Texas' largest canoe and kayak race, and endurance was put to the test on the 15-mile course through the heart of Houston. The regatta started near 7700 San Felipe (just west of Voss) and finished at the Sabine-to-Bagby Promenade in Downtown Houston.

Racing begins at the 35th Annual Buffalo Bayou Regatta.

Houstonians of all ages participated in the USCA-sanctioned race along the scenic Buffalo Bayou. Some were competitive, others paddled for pleasure, but all got a chance to see Houston from a whole new angle. Those not wanting to paddle were part of the outdoor fun and cheered on the racers.

The annual regatta is sponsored by the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing Houston's historic waterway. Corporate and private sponsors also participated.

Proceeds from the race benefited the Buffalo Bayou Partnership and its conservation, recreational, and beatification programs for Buffalo Bayou.
