Welcome to Race 5 of the 2019 PaddleNSW Marathon Series and the 3rd running of the annual Batemans Bay Paddle Challenge. This year the two events have combined to offer all levels of paddlers what will be a unique and enjoyable experience on the mighty Clyde River.
This year the event will be held on the Clyde River foreshore in front of the BIG 4 Batemans Bay Easts Riverside Park which is right next door to Korners Park the location of the past 2 events. With the new Batemans Bay Bridge under construction Korners Park is being utilised as an equipment holding compound. We are thankful for the support of the Caravan Park to allow us the use of the grassed land in front of the Caravan Park.
Drop off & Access
The drop off zone will be the same as previous years as the Korners Park carpark is still open. The volunteers will direct you event location.
