THE Umzinyathi Canoe Club hosted paddlers from around the country in the annual 50 Miler Canoe Marathon, presented by StaminGro, this weekend in the Inanda Valley.
It is a major qualifier for the Dusi Canoe Marathon in February, and more than 400 paddlers tackled the testing route, which is a combination of the end of day one and early parts of day two stages of the Dusi.
Jordan and Cana Peek, Botha’s Hill residents, won the women’s race edging out the favoured Chrisite Mackenzie and Bridigette Hartley in a interesting race for line honours.
Race favourites, Andy Birkett and Hank McGregor, teamed up to create a formidable combination for the season.
Birkett and McGregor took line honours ahead of the Houston Brothers.
