Who' invited to the OARSathalon

Everyone is invited including all the friends of OARS and anybody in the ocean exploration or survey industries, and their friends and families. We have wanted to do this for ourselves for a long time, so you're welcome to join us.

What if I can's bring a Bike?

That's ok, there will be at least one community bike there to use at the event.

What if I don't want to do one of the events?

Hey, that' totally OK, if you don't want to shoot for the podium but still want to come have fun, we're happy to have you there!

The OARSathalon is free, but the LCRA park at Bastrop State Park has a $5/per person day use fee.
