The Henley-on-Todd Regatta is a "boat" race held in the dry sandy bed of the Todd River in Alice Springs, Australia. It is the only regatta ever cancelled because of wet weather. This year's regatta will be August 20th.

The Henley-on-Todd Regatta is a "boat" race held in the dry sandy bed of the Todd River in Alice Springs, Australia. It is the only regatta ever cancelled because of wet weather. This year's regatta will be August 20th.
I signed everyone up to participate in at least three different races at the annual Henley-on-Todd Regatta boat Race. (You can thank me later.) Which three you enter is up to you. Good luck and may the best Viking or Pirate win!
