Nov 14, 2009
Formerly "The Texas Jailbreak"
Details:
Now in its 5th year, this race has continued to grow and we expect another great
turnout.
Formerly called The Texas Jail Break - The name had to be changed due to an
actual Jail Break at the Huntsville Prison where a prison guard lost her life -
Jail Break is not a popular term around the park these days - understandably so.
Our condolences go out to the family members of that guard.
Sign up early and get your on site canoe reserved (Sprint only)- there is a limited number
(30 I think) and they will go fast. This is a bring your own boat race.
