Shropshire Paddlesport is thrilled to announce the upcoming Hasler Marathon Race on 30th June 2023. The event promises a thrilling day of paddling excitement, starting and finishing right at the Club House. Participants can choose from various divisions, including singles and doubles for kayaks and canoes, with distances ranging from 12 miles with 2 portages to 4 miles with no portages. U14 races sponsored by Geoff Sanders will cover 2 miles, providing younger paddlers a chance to showcase their skills.
All divisions are required to check in between 9:00 and 10:30 in the morning to ensure a smooth start to the races. After the adrenaline-filled races, competitors can refuel with food and light refreshments provided on-site. Additionally, there will be options to purchase extra food and drink to keep energy levels high. Participants can park at a designated car park located approximately a mile away from the clubhouse. For those who prefer to paddle to the location, the first bridge over the canal serves as a convenient starting point. Drop-off is also available near the club, utilising the lay-by for unloading. It is important to note that parking on the roadside is prohibited, except for designated disabled parking spaces in the lay-by.
Registration for this exhilarating event closes on Saturday, 15th July 2023.
