The 36th annual Buffalo Bayou Regatta is planned for March 8, 2008. Beginners and competitive paddlers alike will be racing down Buffalo Bayou in canoes and kayaks. The regatta is Texas' largest canoe and kayak race, and endurance is put to the test on the 15-mile course through the heart of Houston. More than 200 participants are expected.
The regatta starts near 7700 San Felipe (just west of Voss) and finishes at the Sesquicentennial Park (adjacent to the Wortham Theater Center) at Preston (between Bagby and Smith) in Downtown Houston.
