WELCOME, PADDLERS .
This year you have a choice of 3 entry options.
1) Full Distance Individual or Double craft - The iconic Clarence 100 (actually 105.7km) where you paddle each stage of each day in full. Please note, the age group for double categories is determined by the age of the youngest paddler
2) Paddle each day relay option. Each stage is divided into 2 legs (total 6 legs). Each relay paddler must paddle 1 leg of each day of their choice. Relay teams can compete as single, double or multi person craft. (paddle each day but half the total distance)
3) Two person (Dynamic Duo) full distance team. This involves 2 people paddling the same craft class, working together to finish the course.Each member must complete the full distance . Finish times are Combined to create a total time result. Entering option 3 takes the paddler out of contention for an individual performance award.
To finish each stage of each day will require a concerted effort by the paddler. Our logistic safety support cannot maintain vigil for paddlers over an extended period beyond lunch time of each day. Please ensure you paddle , FAST NOT SLOW designed craft. Clarence 100 is not a leisurely paddle challenge.
