2024 Yarra Doubles Race, Strathcona's Tay Creggan campus, 30 Yarra Street, Hawthorn, VIC.
Check-in: 8:30 am to 9:00 am sharp. Briefing 9:15 am. Racing starts 10:00 am.
This is a designated "doubles" event. Singles craft are welcome. Each paddler must register separately.
This race will also serve as the 2024 Victorian Marathon Doubles Championships, due to the earlier cancellation of the March event at Geelong due to blue green algae. The age/gender classes will be derived from the divisional entries once registrations have closed.
The order of starting will be different from previous years to reduce the time paddlers spend waiting for their start:
-
- Div 8 & 9 (10 km): commence launching 9:30 am, race starts at 10:00 am
- Div 7 & Canoes (10 km): commence launching 9:55 am, race starts at 10:15 am
- Div 1 - 4 (18 km): commence launching 10:15 am, race starts at 10:30 am
- Div 5 & 6 (10 km): commence launching 10:15 am, race starts at 10:32 am
- Div 10 & 11 (2 km): commence launching 10:20 am, race starts at 10:35 am
You may choose the distance you wish to paddle. However, please do not choose the longest distance unless you can paddle at greater than 11.5 km/hr over that distance.
No portage.
Wearing of an approved Life Jacket / PFD (personal flotation device) is mandatory for this event.
