Jason Cooper, Race Director from Suthlerand Canoe Club is going to try something a little different for the Marathon Race. There will be a "Hotspot" on the first lap for the 20km divisions.

A prize will be awarded to the first boat, from divisions 1-6, to reach the hotspot on lap 1.

 

To be eligible for the prize the paddlers:-

  • Must complete all 4 laps.
  • Paddle in the division that PaddleNSW has nominated for them to enter.

Prizes will be handed out at the presentations after the racing has finished.

The  map below shows the course and where the turns and hotspot,start/finishline are.

 

Southside Paddlers intending to compete, please pick up a red singlet from Arnold, if you don’t already have one, ( please return at end of race) you can paddle across from the containers to the start of the race and the race briefing, It may be easier if you enter online to save a trip across to pay as parking will be difficult on the other side. Spectators can watch from the bridge or side of the river, please be very careful if you are watching from the bridge.

Good luck.
