MARATHON SERIES - EVENT CHANGE Due to circumstance beyond our control, we have had to cancel the event scheduled for Mylestom on 4 May 2019. We know this will disappoint some paddlers who were looking forward to a coastal break and a paddle on a great river and we regret the inconvenience. As a replacement - we have decided to upgrade another race that also enables a coastal break and a paddle on a great river! The Batemans Bay Paddle Challenge, on 27 April 2019, will be upgraded from a bonus round to a full pointscore round with some exciting new features. Divisions 1-7 will race 26km on a single lap (from Batemans Bay bridge to Nelligen and back) Divisions 8-12 will race 13km on a single lap (to Big Island and back) Division 13 will race 6km on a single lap (3km upstream from the Bridge and back). As the event will be run in conjunction with the Batemans Bay Paddle Challenge, there will be some special features: - all competitors in the Challenge will receive a finisher’s medallion; and - the event will be conducted in start waves based on our regular racing divisions (enabling easy continuity of our point scoring system) with the potential to attract new participants to our sport by folding them in with divisions based on their estimated paddling speed. So the short advice is...don’t book accomodation up north...this time the action will be down south! Entry fees and process will be the same as for a normal marathon series event. Watch for the entry link to be live on the PNSW Marathon webscorer page soon.

We are considering a planning proposal which seeks to allow additional permitted uses for this site and increase the maximum height of building from 8.5m to 11m.
