It was a bit windy but the rain held off until after all the racing had finished. Our club was well represented and we picked up quite a few of the prizes. The results (click <a href=\"https:\/\/entries.canoemarathon.org.uk\/results\/races\/2025\/tony-and-shirley-pell-memorial-marathon-brigg#race-div4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>) are still only provisional and there may yet be some promotions to be announced but we can all be pleased with our performances (except me). Two of our youngsters had never raced before and put in exceptional effort in the conditions &#8211; we look forward to their continued progress.
