PlayGregory River Canoe Marathon 50th Year!

🚣‍♂️ After 2 years high and dry, the Gregory River Canoe Marathon is BACK this May Long Weekend — and it’s a big one… 🎉 Celebrating 50 years of racing madness on one of Australia’s most scenic outback rivers 300km north of Mount Isa! 🌊

Did you know the first race in 1976 had just 18 paddlers, but by 1991 it grew to a record 250 competitors? This race is pure paddling history. 🛶👏

Competitors will take on either the full 38km course or take it a little more chill over the 15km recreational race.
Fun fact: The 3-hour barrier wasn't broken until 1991, and the oldest finisher was 75-year-old Dick Jenje in 2005!
Who's going to make history in 2025? And will anyone beat the current record held by one team, who in 1991 smashed their boat in under a minute on the first rapid? – yep, that actually happened! 😖

💥 Big congrats to the passionate North West Canoe Club on hosting this iconic event! It’s go time! 💪
