The weather is looking mint on the day...and the event is going ahead. Important reminder that each paddler needs to present themselves & their vaccine passport at registration. Mask up!!! 

A reminder that registration opens at 9am, we are at Whareroa Boat Ramp & carpark (google map it, event signs will be erected). Feel free to arrive early to offload support boats & waka as and if you need.
