Breede River Canoe Marathon

Posted for 3 Sep 2011
The annual  K2 (doubles) Breede  River Canoe Marathon will be held on 3 - 4 September 2011 on 75 km of the Breede River between the towns of Robertson and Swellendam and the forecasts indicate another year of good rain and water levels.

Venue

Date:      Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th September, 2011.
ENTRIES CLOSE Sun. 14 Aug

The event is in its 44th year and is the biggest river marathon in the Western Cape and draws hundreds of competitors.  It never fails to impress with all the top paddler combinations from around the country vying for the prestigious title.
Racing classes also include Mixed Doubles, Husband/Wife, Parent/Child and Siblings making competition even more exciting.
They will be looking forward to another Breede Classic as they take on not only the 75 km of it, but also the many obstacles they will have to overcome:

Day 1
:
  • the Sliding Weir and
  • the low level bridge at Goudmyn,
  • Secunda Weir,
  • the low-level bridge before Bonnievale
Day 2:
  • the Waterfall Rapid, and
  • the Swellendam Weir.
Competitors and spectators alike will be treated to an all-consuming battle on the water in all the classes to be raced, at the end of which there will be much telling and re-telling of the stories of both days racing.
