The Junior Texas Water Safari represents approximately the first 16 miles of Texas Water Safari course. The finish line is the bridge at Staples, the first checkpoint of the longer TWS race.
Race day registration only.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. at San Marcos City Park.
Start time is 9 am.
Cut-off deadline for reaching Hwy 1979 Martindale Bridge is 12 noon.
Compared to the Texas Water Safari, this is a sprint race, pure and simple. Because it occurs in September of each year, this race does not present a true scouting opportunity for next year’s TWS racers, as the river will have likely changed significantly by the following June. However, while this is considered a fun race by all, many racers take it very seriously, using it as one of the many training runs they will undertake prior to the start of the big race in June.
The Jr. TWS has the same age requirements as the Texas Water Safari.
Food and drinks will be provided at the finish. There will be cash drawings at the awards; you must be present to win.
