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.

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.
