Championships Dinner:
The Championships Dinner will be held on Sunday 12th April, from 18:00 at The Queanbeyan Hotel, 59 Crawford Street (on corner with Uriarra Road), Queanbeyan (https://www.hotelqueanbeyan.com.au/), 10-15 minutes from the venue by car and within walking distance of many accommodation options in Queanbeyan.
The 3-course Dinner is Buffet style with Entree, Main and Dessert.
The Queanbeyan Hotel, or Top Pub as it is affectionately known by locals, has been Queanbeyan’s favourite neighbourhood pub since 1927. It was originally built to house workers who had moved to the area to build Canberra and quickly became a favourite watering hole for the whole region because of the prohibition of the sale of alcohol in the ACT at that time. Top Pub became a magnet for residents of Canberra who flocked across the border to drink and buy alcohol.
The 2026 PA Canoe Marathon Championships Dinner will take place in the original dining hall which has been preserved to capture the family friendly environment for which Top Pub is famous. Top Pub is located near Queanbeyan Railway Station, a heritage listed facility which was opened in 1887 and is known for its architectural significance and historical importance.
Top Pub is a sponsor of the Marathon Championships, so please support this event. Medals for U18, U23 and Open categories Friday-Sunday will be presented at the dinner, together with the announcement of the Provisional National Marathon Team for the 2026 Canoe Marathon and Canoe Marathon Masters World Championships in Argentina in October 2026.
