Description

The 2013 Second Annual Bayou Adventure Race will consist of three legs. The first leg will be a 5K run along the South and North banks of Buffalo Bayou from Dairy Ashford to Highway 6. As runners arrive at Highway 6 they will quickly grab their boats and paddle down the Buffalo Bayou for 5K until they reach the Dairy Ashford takeout. After carrying their boats up to the transition area, competitors will switch to their mountain bikes and race for 10K to 15k around the dirt trails of Terry Hershey Park and return to where it all began to declare a winner.
