RIVERLAND PADDLING MARATHON
5 events – 3 days – 1 weekend
Welcome to the web home of the Riverland Paddling Marathon (RPM), South Australia’s premiere long distance canoe marathon.
The RPM concluded it’s 25th consecutive event on the June long weekend of 2012 with perfect weather and a very fast river. We saw record numbers of boats on the water in 2012. It was also the year that Bill Robinson completed his 20th consecutive Murray 200 and Race Director, Martin Finn, officiated at his 15th consecutive event. The event was also momentous because it was the first year that Under 18 paddlers completed the Murray 200.
