On Saturday
April 28th and Sunday April 29th the annual Glasgow to Edinburgh
Marathon will be held on the Forth & Clyde and the Union Canals.
Due to the Millennium works on the canals the race is slightly
shorter than usual and will only cover 43 miles this year,
approximately 23 on Saturday and 20 on Sunday This is a great
opportunity for teams of paddlers to get together in any kind
of canoe and join in the fun, and nobody needs to paddle any
great distance as there are so many places that relay teams
can change paddlers.
In the
past we have had people aged 8 to 80 years and of all abilities
of paddling participating. There are classes for single and
double boats, from those paddling the whole distance to relay
teams of 2 single or 2 doubles paddling alternate sections
|
and teams
of up to 6 boats. In the relay classes there are no set distances
for individual paddlers.
We are
hoping this year to have paddlers from all types of canoeing
to come along and join in the fun, so why not try and get
a team together and join us.
