Safety:

Please pay attention to the safety requirements of each of the seeding the races, especially in Race 2 & 3. Whilst we welcome paddlers of all skill levels, it is expected that competitors can self assess personal risk based on their own competency and the section of river and it's associated levels. The race organisers and safety officials reserve the right to withdraw any competitor at any stage of the event if deemed necessary to ensure the competitors personal safety.

 

In the event of extreme river levels, competitors will be kept informed of any course changes.
