Start

  • Reg Bond Reserve, Guildford.
  • Paddlers, boats and trailers to arrive no later than 9.00am with an approximate race start at 10.00am.
  • Sweeps briefing at 9.15am.
  • Boats to be loaded with paddlers and on the water by 9.45am.
  • The boats will be lined up together at the start, then started at 30 second intervals, similar to our 2k race.
  • Make sure you organize someone to look after your valuables, do not expect volunteers at the start to look after them.

Finish line

The finish line is between the gazebo and the shore. After the race, all boats are to pull up on the shore at the Riverside Gardens. First, second and third will receive their medals at a presentation ceremony after the race – time to be confirmed.

Trailer and paddler parking

We are looking at options for trailer parking and loading boats after the event and will let you know.
