For decades, the Gregory River Canoe Marathon has been a highlight of the year, drawing seasoned paddlers and beginners from near and far to test their skills on the beautiful Gregory River. This event isn’t just about competition; it’s a celebration of camaraderie, nature, and the spirit of adventure.
The marathon traces its roots back to 1976, when a group of passionate canoe enthusiasts decided to turn their paddle down the river, into a full-fledged event. Since then, it has grown in both size and reputation and has become a weekend (or weeks for some) of community spirit and connection.
Join us in celebrating this rich tradition and be a part of the 50th year of Gregory River Canoe Marathon in 2025! Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a first-time spectator, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
