The in2Kayaks Avon Challenge is being held as a curtain raiser to the main finish at Garret Rd bridge. There are male and female divsions in 2 catagories - 12'6 and 14' prizes available. Entry fee is $20 (which includes day insurance).
Start is at 0945 (brought forward 15mins from original time) at Fish Market Reserve just upstream from the Guildford road bridge and railway bridges. The 7km was selected as we thouight there would be a greater turn out for that distance vs 15km at this time of year. It is a beautiful stretch of the river to paddle along and exciting to be part of the avon descent atmosphere.
SUPWA will try and organise a trailer to get boards back to cars at the start after the race or take boards up from the finish before the race depending on which offers the better parking.
Whilst this is not a SUPWA event - we have been involved and a good turn out will help in the decision to make this an annual event - hope to see you there!
Cheers
Greg
