THE GREAT LAKES RACE
Ruamata are looking forward to undertaking this race in early November 2011 which will be over a distance of 30 km ( not 60 km). We hope you paddlers will book this into your diaries to paddle 2 lakes as 1 as an iron man event.. However Ruamata will run a 60 km event over the 2 lakes as a"change race" and at some stage as a singles event over the next few years subject to approval from authorities inclusive of Rotorua District Council, Environment BOP and Maritime.
