The 2019 SA Canoe Marathon championships
Race course
The 2019 SA Marathon Championships will be held at Cradle Moon Lake. Athletes will paddle three full laps of approximately 2.8km each before their first portage (ie, first portage at the end of third lap).
The portage of approximately 100m will be jetty take-out and jetty put-in.
The final short lap will be 1km (500m out, 500m back).
The short lap will follow the usual course until the “short lap turning buoys” and then it will be a straight drag to the finishing line, not a separate route inside of the trees
The number of laps in a race depends on the age category race.
Note that actual race distances may vary slightly once the course is constructed.
Full course with long lap and short lap
Race programme
The race programme has been developed by John Oliver and follows the ICF rules, adapted to fit the course at Cradle Moon. As per usual, the race distance is race category dependent. The race distances for each event are provided in the attached programme of events.
The programme runs over three days: Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with Monday being a public holiday.
