The Hawkesbury Classic Paddle is a unique opportunity to pit yourself against the physical and mental hurdles thrown up by a 111km, overnight, paddle from Windsor to Mooney Mooney on Sydney's majestic Hawkesbury River. The event is open to all forms of paddlecraft from single kayaks, canoes and ocean racing skis to multi-paddler outriggers and Dragon Boats.
Before registering for the Hawkesbury Classic Paddle, please visit www.canoeclassic.net for full details of the event, including boat specifications, race categories, start times, pricing, insurance, mandatory fund raising ($200.00 through GiveNow) and mandatory landcrew arrangements.
Your landcrew will also need to provide their details, seperately through the HCC website (paddler name, landcrew name, vehicle details, phone number). Please have them do this promptly and have them update the details if anything changes prior to the event.
For event and paddler insurance purposes, all paddlers must either hold an active Paddle Australia (PA) membership or pay a Single Event Non-Member Fee ($24.00 for Seniors or $12.00 for Juniors).
The insurance fee for non-PA entrants will be automatically added as part of the registration process.
ALL paddlers need to complete the Event Registration.
For the avoidance of doubt, that is BOTH paddlers in any Double craft, and ALL paddlers in a K4, TC/C6, OC6, or Dragon Boat.
When completing your entry, if you are paddling a Double (eg; ORS2, REC2, UN2, TK2, etc) you MUST enter the name of your paddling partner.
If you are paddling in a Team Boat (eg; K4, TC/C6, Dragon Boat) you MUST enter the boat's Team Boat name. (it will help the organisers if all paddlers in the same team boat enter the same Team Boat name !!)
If you are entering in one of the Competitive classes, please note that Ages are calculated as at the day before the event, as described on the event webste. (EG: To enter the 50+ veteran class, the paddler must be over the age of 50 years before 26th October 2024)
