Anyone can come along to these races, provided they are able to paddle ~3.5 km. This race aims to establish handicap times for future races. Once handicap times are in place, future races will aim to have everyone cross the finish line at about the same time – so everyone has a chance to win!
Race others, but also race yourself by watching your times change from month to month – especially if you train in between races!
Races are open to all club members – using any boat. Must be on the water by 8:50 AM
Race Schedule
- Sun 30 March. 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM at the club shed (we will use the rowing club pontoon)
- Sat 24 May 8:30 AM – 11 AM at the club shed.
