IRON vs RELAY
We have had a few requests and yes you can still enter with a lesser number and have some of your members iron or enter with only a team of 6. Should your crew of 6 choose to iron and complete the full 36km, you must still pull into Te Puru and a member of your crew is to run to the arrival tent on the beach and “check in” as if you were going to change.

Packed Lunch
All paddlers will receive a healthy packed lunch – more details in the panui…

Accommodation
There is a campsite across the road from the race start in Waihihi which is being offered to paddlers free of charge. The camp site is a powered camp site, has a kitchen and showers. Let me know if you wish to utilize this site and I will give you more information about it.

Race Entry is free. Experienced adult paddlers only.
