“The Motorway Race”
Sunday April 4, 2010
Starting at 10 am sharp!
You can all make this Wellingtons biggest multi Canoe/ Kayak race by turning up………….if you don’t it will be Wellingtons semi biggest race (-:
Sorry it’s Easter Weekend and the end of daylight savings as well, on the flip side like family, we will be giving away Easter Eggs!
Course:
From The Wellington Waterski Club follow the Motorway to the Interislander reclaimed land (knoll) and turn around a buoy 10 metres from the shore in that bay before the knoll then back to the finish distance 13 km
If it’s a tricky little Southerly the course will be from the same starting point but will run along the shoreline and around up the Hutt River to a buoy by the Sladden Park dead arm and return the distance will be about 11km.……….yep that’s half of the Crazyman course!
If you’re unsure about the course or where it’s going just call us to inquire on 0274 581 005
We don’t cancel our races we just go for another course or venue if it’s too rough.
