Texas River Marathon aka The Prelim

35-mile race from River Haven RV Resort to the Pump House Restaurant in Victoria. This is the preliminary race used to determine starting positions/line up for Texas Water Safari. It is not mandatory to race this race in order to race the Texas Water safari. Cut-off deadline for reaching Hwy 477 Nursery Bridge is 1:00 PM.   An additional cutoff deadline is 4:00 PM (Saturday) at Victoria City Park boat ramp.  The finish line cutoff is 5:00 PM (Saturday) at the Pumphouse Restaurant in Victoria City Park.  If you do not finish by 5:00 PM and are entered in Safari, you will lose your starting position in the TWS.  You can still race the TWS, but your starting position will be moved back to one of the last starting rows.

The Texas Water Safari is actually comprised of several events including an information seminar, two short races (one of which can be considered as a preliminary race) and of course, the Safari itself – the 260 mile race to Seadrift from the headwaters of the San Marcos River.
