Canoe marathon would traditionally have seen competitors race from one point to another across possible combinations of river, lake, estuary and sea while having to navigate around any obstacles, having to carry the boat at times if necessary
Today a shorter multi-lap based format has developed, to encourage a more spectator-friendly approach to the discipline with courses created to be covered in laps with a number of portages (grab your boat and run) added in.
The Paddle NSW Marathon Series is based on a Divisional format, with participants selecting Divisions and distances based on how far and how fast they can paddle.
