This celebration has taken place in the Edisto Memorial Gardens since its inception in 1972. Approximately 40,000 visitors converge annually to witness the splendor of the Gardens at this time of year and take part in the many activities. 2006 marks the 35th Annual Festival of Roses.

Blackwater Adventure Duathlon (Run and Kayak)
The event takes place in two different places, so there is a break between the run and kayak. Run the 12k in the morning at Rose Festival Road Race, then tackle the 7 mile Blackwater race on the Edisto river at 1:00 p.m. Fastest combined times win. There is a potential to win 3 awards: one for each event (Run, Double and Duathlon).
The kayak portion of the race takes place on the Edisto river starting at the Shillings Bridge Road "Baughman's landing" (see map above). The Blackwater canoe and kayak race is actually a seperate event that starts at 1:00 p.m. The north fork of the Edisto is a windy, technical route with many challenges, inlcuding getting over or around obstacles such as fallen trees and strainers. The route is a natural beauty with little to no development. You can google map shillings bridge road and find the landing. The route ends at the glover street landing in Orangeburg.
