Event notes
2018 Echuca Mini Marathon (and 2018 Victorian Canoe Marathon WS7), from Barmah to Echuca.

This event covers part of Day 3 of the Murray Marathon/Massive Murray Paddle course.

There are three distance options: full distance (50 km), relay (50 km), or short distance (Checkpoint D to Echuca, 20 km). The relay has three legs (Barmah to Checkpoint C - 12 km; C to D - 18 km; and D to Echuca - 20 km).

Full distance and relay check-in at Jack Edwards Park, Barmah: from 9:00 am. Briefing 10:15 am. Crews will start at 10:30, 11:00, 11:30 or 12 noon depending upon craft type/speed.
Short course check-in at Checkpoint D: 1:00 to 1:30 pm sharp. Briefing 1:45 pm. Start: 2:00 pm
The intention is to have all paddlers finishing reasonably close together (between ~3:30 and 4:00 pm) to simplify on-water safety near Echuca (given the presence of power boats and jet skis).

Safety requirements: Wearing of an approved PFD (personal flotation device) is mandatory for this event. Paddlers will also need a mobile phone in a waterproof pouch, a pea-less whistle attached to their PFD, an emergency blanket and a dry bag with a change of warm clothes.

Public toilets are available at the Start (Jack Edwards Park, Barmah) and Finish (Victoria Park, Echuca). Please note there will be no toilets at Checkpoint C and Checkpoint D.
