Unfortunately there is no Riverland Paddling Marathon this weekend. But it does mean we will hold the June time trial. For those around we will catch you Sunday.

Massive thanks to all our volunteers. You rock

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers underpin all aspects of our sport and activities, from our recreation and education programs, through to our clubs, and our athlete development and high-performance programs at state and national levels, even on to the international stage

So to all our club coaches, committee members and support crews, Board directors, tech committee members, team officials, guides and instructors, and everyone else who helps out in any capacity, a very big THANK YOU.
