Congratulations to all those who paddled in the 2021 Marathon Series! While a handful of our races in the second half of the year were COVID-cancelled, it was great to see paddlers out and about around the state from February to June, and then at the Narrabeen Marathon Finale hosted by Manly Warringah Kayak Club.
As a result of the curtailed racing season, seasonal results were calculated from the best five races across the year. The Marathon Committee is proud to have a number of divisions won by up-and-coming juniors, and are looking forwards to developing junior participation into 2022.
Thank you to clubs for the work that they put in each year to get Marathon Series races up and running. While the focus on the day is so often on the racers themselves, there is a huge amount of work that goes in behind the scenes to ensure a smooth day on the water.
See you on the water in 2022!
