NQ Ocean Paddle Series Race2: River Rush

Expert - Intermediate - Beginner: Everyone can join in on the fun!

NQ Ocean Paddle Series offers an opportunity for paddle enthusiasts to get a little competitive while exploring the wonders of North Queensland's oceanic waters. We have five events of varying distances and paddle styles in the Townsville/Magnetic Island region to suit a range of different skills and fitness levels. Each race offers a short and long course to cater for expert, intermediate and beginner paddlers.

Race1: River Rush
We have decided to recap one of the favorites of last year - River Rush. Starting at the South Townsville Boat Ramp, competitors race down the Ross River paddling through mangroves, muddy water and dodging all sorts of obstacles on the way. A sense of relief is felt once the open ocean is reached and as they head towards Magnetic Island before turning and finishing at the magnificent Pallarenda Beach.

Short course available for intermediates & beginners.
