Massive Murray Paddle cancelled

The Murray River region has seen massive amounts of rain and the major dams are almost all at capacity.

NSW Maritime last week advised the organisers of the Marrive Murray River Paddle that due to the flooding the river is currently closed for all events.

A new a date of February 27 to March 3, 2023, has been scheduled and the organisers will also plan to run the race at the next traditional time-slot of November 20 to 24, 2023.

The race for February is scheduled for the new format from Yarrawonga to Koondrook at 415km and will pass through the Gunbower Forest.

There is still a chance that the forested legs will still be too wet for road crews to access, however, we information will be provided closer to race date.

Paddlers and crews will now have to alter accommodation and bookings.
