THE EUROSTEEL HIGHVELD CROC RACE
WEEKEND 16 AND 17 JANUARY 2016
With good rains forecast for next week it looks like this race WILL be able to take place and be another awesome success…… message from Organiser:
Compliments of the season to all paddlers and your families.
Hopefully its a good year for business and paddling, for everyone out there!
Its less than 2 weeks to the EUROSTEEL HIGHVELD CROC RACE!
If you doing Dusi, this is a must do race??? After this race there is only 1
month to the DUSI, so great preparation race, and lots of time to recover!!
As mentioned last year, we will not hold the race if there is no rain in the
week leading up to the race, but the weather forecast shows rain for
everyday next week, so its looking promising.
Race details are as follows:
- K2 Race – K1’s welcome. K3’s only recommended if river is high.
