Unfortunately we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Australian Whitewater Film Festival scheduled for Friday night (tomorrow) due to a lack of entries received this year.

We thank the 4 entries that were received.

We will be back in 2027- hopefully bigger and better than ever!

Hanko and the team at Horizon Line Canoes have been long running and generous supporters of the Lea Extreme Race for a long time now.

This year is no exception, with a solid list of prizes awaiting and additional support from Immersion Research.

There's a great prize pool packed with whitewater, rescue and paddling gear:

Palm River Knife
Pin Kit – 2x SMC Pulleys, 2x NRS Carabiners and 1x Prusik Loop
Astral Dyneema Throw Bag
Astral Pusha Shoes
Immersion Research Rival Long Sleeve Semi-Dry Top
Immersion Research Scorcher Hoodie
Immersion Research Lightweight Power Wool Hoodie
Palm Riff Rescue PFD – a brand-new product that Horizon Line doesn’t even have in stock yet!

The Palm Riff Rescue is an especially exciting addition to the prize pool, giving one lucky paddler the chance to get their hands on Palm’s brand-new rescue PFD before it has even landed at Horizon Line.

Whether you’re chasing the podium or just coming along for a great day of racing, there’s plenty up for grabs.

A huge thank you to Horizon Line Canoes for sponsoring the Lea Race and putting together this prize pool, along with Immersion Research for their support of the event.

We’re looking forward to a great day of racing. See you on the Lea!
