Weltevreden Park’s Jerome and Elsali Boulle competed in the long 30km Klip River race recently. The race was organised by Germiston Lake’s Victoria Lake Canoe Club and ran from Daleside to Meyerton. The Klip River Race provides excellent training for marathons and long distances. Jerome and Elsali enjoyed the competition and finished the race in fifth position in a time of 2 hours, 34 minutes as a mixed doubles team.
South Africa will host the ICF World Marathon Championships this year, and paddlers are also in training for the A-grade white-water river races that lead up to the annual endurance Dusi Canoe marathon.
