Formally known as the 2024 Northam to Toodyay
Low water levels and a course change did not discourage, and a great day was had by all.
A glorious pink sky heralded the start of this year’s 2024 Northam to Toodyay Bells to Ascot.
And things only got better from there!
Numbers were down but spirits were high to tackle this challenging course.
Over 50 paddlers took to the Swan for 29.5km of white water fun. Even a curious log came by to take a look…
… and was quickly escorted to the sidelines to spectate.
Overall, everyone had a great race, and all made it over the finish line.
A shout out to those who stopped to help out a paddler in distress, detangling and assisting to finish the race. Our paddling community is so supportive!
We also welcomed a new paddler to our amazing community, who paddled a great race, and we look forward to seeing them again soon.
