Tony and Shirley Pell Marathon

Our club’s Hasler Marathon event is less than TWO weeks away and we need YOU! to make it a success — either as a paddler or a bank-side volunteer.

Every paddler can enter in ANY boat. Adults and over 14s have a 4 mile race whilst our youngest paddlers can choose to do 2 miles. We have boats available to suit all abilities and you can come and give it a try beforehand on Saturday at 1:45 (on the water for 2pm).

For the event to be a success we need a team of volunteers. We already have the catering covered (all donations of cakes will be welcome) but also need some extra bank-side assistance.

1) Assistant starter and timer
2) Car park marshals
3) Turn marshalls
4) Shepherd for the juniors (on the water)
5) Jetty supervisor.

If you can help with any of these tasks please let me know, either in person at the pool on Saturday or by emailing me (disciplines@gscc-online.com).

If you want to have fun and enter the race, I will need to know by Thursday 13th October. If you have not raced with us before I will need your name, gender and date of birth; email address and postcode plus your British Canoeing number (if you are already a member).

The entry fee is Adults £8; Juniors £6 (4 miles) Under 14s £2.50 (2 miles)

Even if you can’t help or paddle please come along and support our club. Cheer us all on and buy lots of cakes!
