The Texas Canoe Racing Association is a statewide club for persons interested in paddle sport
racing. The primary focus of the club is USCA and ICF class marathon racing, but other
disciplines of paddle sports are promoted through TCRA’s Race Calendar and Points Program.
In 1971 a group of canoe paddlers with an interest in canoe and kayak racing joined together
and formed the TCRA. During the past years the organization has grown to one of the largest
canoe clubs in the state. The club is now recognized as the voice for canoe racing in Texas and
its members have gained national recognition. Each year the TCRA participates in
approximately 20 canoe races and the TCRA also organizes and sponsors the Texas State
Canoe Racing Championship Series. These championship level race events compliment the
other annual racing events by recognizing the top competitors in a variety of paddle sport
disciplines and classes. Additionally the TCRA culminates the season by awarding the top
overall paddlers of the year. This recognition is determined through the accumulation of TCRA
Points.
Whether you’re a novice paddler, intermediate or seasoned racer, TCRA is a great way to meet
new people, improve your skills and get out on the river. Our membership spans the state and
varies widely by age, gender, skill-level and boat type, and even our working careers and
professions. However, we also share a great deal in common - the competitive spirit and an
enduring love of the water.
Your annual dues help fund events and activities throughout the year and around the state.
Among them:
• 4 championship races, Unlimited, Aluminum, USCA and ICF, and the Martindale Triathlon
• Race discounts for TCRA members
• Spring and fall river cleanups
• Bi-Monthly newsletter
• Texas paddler directory
• Annual banquet
• Paddler of the year points competition
A TCRA membership will give you a voice in the racing community and allow us to continue to
promote canoe racing in Texas. And don’t let the term canoe racing confuse you- our members
paddle kayaks and canoes crafted from wood, plastic, aluminum, carbon and Kevlar. You may
join online at Active.com.
