Well, its done!! The Ord River Marathon 2026 was conquered yesterday, and we all survived! Many of us are very pleased with how we are feeling today, (all be it a bit sore) which is a reflection on the training and preparation we have been doing over the last 10months or so. Many personal challenges have been overcome, and many personal goals, including bucket list items, have been met! For an overview of the course click https://strava.app.link/snFvoGB0M3b Thanks Liz!
Thank you to ALL of our fellow club members, family and friends, who have supported and encouraged us all the way! A few photos to give you an idea of the days events! I will continue to add more when they are available.

Gippsland Water Dragons Dragon Boat Club participated in Clean Up Australia activities today, collecting rubbish from the Sale Canal, which we use regularly. Items recovered included a number of fishing rods, a traffic bollard, milk crate, a broom, and assorted cans etc. The broom was presented to the sweep (😜) and 3 shopping trollies reported. Thankyou everyone for your help today, organising and registering, reaching and balancing from the boat, in rather precarious positions!
