With less than a month to go to the annual event, the race has extended normal entries until 31 January, and said they are delighted with current level of entries received.
“We are really happy with entries at the moment but with the holidays and the N3TC Drak Challenge this weekend we felt that by extending entries it would give people some breathing space,” said Steve Botha, the FNB Dusi General Manager.
“Taking entries online makes it feasible to move the closing of normal entries closer to the race,” he said.

“It is a difficult financial time for a lot of people so by giving them until the end of the month it eases the pressure and we are hoping to up the already impressive number of entries we have.” he added.
“The river is clean and there weren’t any hyacinth blocks along the way which is great news,” Botha commented.
2018’s focus for the Dusi is to make the race an enjoyable experience from the first paddler to the last and Botha’s logistical plans are falling into place along the route.
