The Canoe Leg begins from the running course finish and continues just beyond Jayes Bridge.

Paddlers will launch from a starting point on Jayes Road, just west of Terry Road. The launch site provides easy access to the river. The course takes you upstream (against the current) before turning back to paddle downstream toward Jayes Bridge.

Please note:

• River conditions vary greatly depending on rainfall and water levels. Be sure to attend the race briefing and check for updates prior to race day.

• The Terry Road crossing has been reconstructed with concrete box culverts and must be ported by all canoeists.

• Approach the portage with care: exit the river well before the crossing, as currents can be strong. Re-enter with caution, the lower side of the crossing is rough and requires good judgement.

This leg is all about technique, control and strategic navigation. Stay alert and adapt to the river’s conditions.
