It’s a three-day staged race beginning the first Friday in October.

Tour du Teche 135: Pro/Voyager Race, in which some of the fastest boats and paddlers from around the world vie for Medals given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

Winners have their names placed on the race monument in Berwick at the Finish area.

Tour du Teche 135 was begun in 2010 with the dual purpose of introducing the beautiful Teche Country to paddlers and other eco-tourists from beyond and to illustrate for its residents the recreational, aesthetic, cultural and economic value of Bayou Teche. Since the race’s inception, these two groups, visitors and local folk, have met and mingled in happy expositions of music and cuisine that give Tour du Teche 135 it’s reputation as moveable party as well as a tough series of paddle marathons.

C’est pas juste une course!
