Petit Tour du Teche 2016

Young paddlers got a taste of kayak racing in Petit Tour du Teche at Parc des Ponts de Pont Saturday, Aug. 6.
Ranging from 250 yards to a mile in length, the races are staged around buoys. The racers are within view of the park at all times so that moms and dads and brothers and sisters can cheer them on.
Racers and onlookers alike were treated to watermelon and pizza by St. Martin Hospital, which will partner with Tour du Teche to provide nutritional and other health advice for the adult athletes participating in the 410 de Louisiane (410 miles), the 275-mile Tour de la Rivière Rouge, and the 135-mile Tour du Teche – ultra-marathons this October.
