| The Henley-on-Todd Regatta |
Every year in Alice Springs, Australia, the Henley-on-Todd Regatta, also known as the Todd River Race, is a "boat" race conducted in the usually dry sandy bed of the Todd River.
It started out carefully as a joke, mocking the initial British colonists and the formality of the British river races that are still held today. The town hosts a mock regatta every year on the third Saturday in August, which draws a sizable crowd of residents and visitors.
"No fishing" signs are up, food and drink are served from booths, and the festivities go all day.
Since it is the only dry river regatta in the world, water in the river caused the event to be cancelled in 1993.
The track officials protested when the Alice Springs Hash House Harriers and Katherine Hash House Harriers running clubs entered the water with their boats and finished the race.
