Burley Griffin 24HR Relay Paddle Challenge

The Burley Griffin Canoe Club (BGCC) is gearing up for an adrenaline-pumping event - the Burley Griffin 24HR Relay Paddle Challenge! This amateur sports event is perfect for paddlers aged 15 and above who are looking for an exhilarating challenge.

Participants have the option to paddle solo or team up with friends in relay teams of different sizes. The event kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 7th, and wraps up at 10 a.m. on Sunday, December 8th. If 24 hours seems a bit too intense, don't worry - there's also a 16-hour option available.

The course itself is quite picturesque, with a 4.7 km lap on the Molonglo River that offers a unique and scenic paddling experience. Whether you're in it to win it or just looking to have a good time, there are competitive solo and relay categories, as well as social relay teams for a more laid-back experience.

Entry fees vary depending on your age group, with early bird rates for juniors, students, adults, and seniors. Make sure to come up with a cool team name and follow the age restrictions and lap timing rules when registering.
