Todd River

There's a river running through Alice Springs, called Todd River. However, it's mostly dry the whole year due to an average precipitation below 50mm. There's a "boat race" (Henley-on-Todd regatta) held on the river each year, but due to the lack of water, the crew needs to carry the boat across the sand of the river. This is probably the only boat race in the world that is cancelled when there's water in the river. If the river runs dry, you can walk in the riverbed.
