The Course- 30km
The race starts 500 metres above Northam Weir and winds it way downstream through channels covering the opening stages of Day 1 of the famous Avon Descent.

From the Northam Weir to Katrine Bridge the river is characterised by flat water and intermittent deep pools.

Two kilometres downriver from Katrine is Glen Avon Rapid, a small but tricky rapid.

After seven kilometres of coffee rock, Sinclair’s Crossing underneath Dumbarton Bridge presents a challenge with many channels that exist even in low water.

Not far downriver is Extracts Weir which is a compulsory portage in this race. The river from Extracts to Toodyay is shallow with a gravely bed.

Age: Participants must be 16 years and over on the day of the race to be able to enter.

Race class constitution: Male - 4 craft to a class. Female - 3 craft to a class.

Open class will be constituted first in each craft class, and classes constituted by age thereafter.

If paddling a K2 choose the age category for the youngest member of the pair. (eg 20 yr old and 45 yr old choose open). The exception is one is a junior then choose an Open age category (eg 17 yr old and 45 yr old choose open)

The race organisers reserve the right to combine craft to form a class.

For this event no place prizes are given, random draw prizes are done as soon as possible after the race finishes.
