3338 Elands Canoe Marathon

3338 Elands Canoe Marathon Our annual 3338 Memorial Race takes place on the Elands River, in memory of our dear friend and club member, Laetitia Scheepers. Laetitia this one’s for you!

Laetitia sadly lost her life doing a training trip on the Elands River on the 14th of February 2009. Laetitia grew up in Nelspruit and after completing her studies in Pretoria she returned to Nelspruit to practice physiotherapy. Her own abilities aside she assisted many athletes with great interest and enthusiasm to their full potential. Laetitia was a positive, determined, multi faceted athlete w

ho cycled and ran to supplement her passion for paddling. She completed a few Comrades marathons together with some worthy completions of renowned canoe races. Her passion for adventure took her to the heights of the Himalaya’s and Uganda and her zest for life knew no bounds. In her words “Ja no jussie, just enjoy the run”! Depending on the water levels, the race is held in February of each year and is a great qualifying race for the Duzi Marathon.

The Elands is looking great this morning and level is around 8cumec. We might get a bit more rain in the catchment area in the next 48 hours, so my prediction is a level of more than 6.

Level this morning 6,5. Rain expected in catchment area tomorrow, level on race day should be great.
