Port Pirie Masters Games

The Marathon Canoe & Kayak events have been reinstated at the Port Pirie Masters Games event list.

Many thanks to some lobbying from paddling stalwart Don Gomer.

The Paddling Marathon will be held on the weekend of the 17th & 18th of April at the well known Port Pirie recreational beach and park at Solomontown.

All competitors must be over 35 and competition age groups will be in ten year increments i.e. 35+, 45+, 55+ & 65+.

The full course will be a distance of 20km. However 55+ & 65+ paddlers may opt to paddle the half course of 10km.

  • 2.15pm briefing
