Paddlers ready for Dusi Canoe Marathon
Dusi Canoe Marathon will take place at the end of February from Pietermaritzburg to Durban.
Bedfordview resident Anthony Walsh and Edenvale resident Roeloff Greyling from Victoria Lake Canoe Club partnered for the Two-Day Klip River Race in preparation for the Dusi Canoe Marathon.
The Two-Day Klip River Race took place on January 25 and 26 from Daleside to Meyerton.
The race consisted of 66km over the two days and each day there was a few kilometres where the paddlers had to run carrying their boats.
They finished the race in five hours 32 minutes successfully with no problems and feel a lot stronger and more confident for the upcoming Dusi.
The Dusi Canoe Marathon takes place from Pietermaritzburg to Durban.
Dusi is a 120km race over three days, which includes running with a boat over hills and through bush.
Paddlers also have to paddle through major rapids and white water technical challenges.
Dusi takes place on February 27 to 29.
