What is Canoe/Kayak Marathon?

What is marathon?

Canoe/Kayak Marathon involves paddling over long distances, on either the flatwater of lakes and dams, or the flowing water of a river. Victoria has many long rivers well suited for marathon canoeing. Paddle Victoria and its affiliated clubs conduct marathon races throughout the year and throughout the state.

Traditional marathon racing competitions, like the ICF Canoe Marathon World Cup and World Championships, involve a fixed flatwater course with regular portages, where the paddler must carry the canoe or kayak. Marathon races are held throughout the year in Victoria and cater for a wide range of ages and abilities. Most races are structured such that everyone, from novices to elite racers, can race over a distance suitable for their level of ability.

Many Victorian races have a full distance of around 24-32km for open age-group competitors while juniors and veterans will race reduced distances depending upon their age group. Most competitors race K or TK class craft but a wide range of craft including ocean/surf skis, outrigger canoes and stand up paddleboards are accepted at most Victorian marathon races.

Top paddlers can progress through the Victorian Canoe Marathon Championships to the Australian Championships and from there to the World Championships; an event in which Australian athletes have achieved great success.

For many paddlers the pinnacle of marathon racing is the annual Massive Murray Paddle, one of the longest annual canoe races in the world. Run over five days, it covers 404km of the mighty Murray River between Yarrawonga and Swan Hill.

Victorian Team

Team Selection

PV Marathon Victorian Team Selection Policy

Selection Criteria

  • Selection to the Victorian Canoe Marathon Team (“VIC Marathon Team”) recognizes both the attainment of a standard of performance and the participation in marathon paddling in Victoria.
  • The selection event for the VIC Marathon Team to represent Victoria at the 2024 Paddle Australia Canoe Marathon & SUP Championships (“Nationals”) in Encounter Lakes, SA, from 5-7 April 2024, is the Victorian Canoe Marathon Championships (“VIC Champs”) in Geelong on 2-3 March 2024.
  • You do not have to be selected to the VIC Marathon Team to participate at Nationals. Selection is a point of recognition only. It is not required for entry to Nationals.
  • The two fastest crews in each class, which meet the qualification criteria, are eligible for selection.
  • Each VIC Marathon Team member will receive a Paddle Victoria numbered cap.

Qualification Criteria

  • A Paddle Victoria member.
  • Have competed in at least five (5) qualifying races in the previous 12 months, where one race needs to be over 100 km from the paddler’s designated club.
  • Be in the winning crew, or finish within three (3) minutes of the winning crew, at the VIC Champs.
  • Be committed to competing at Nationals.

Notes

  • The VIC Marathon Team selection event does not require a “constituted class”, although this is preferable.
  • The reason for requiring participation in at least five (5) State-level races, one of which requires some travel, is because the success of marathon paddling rests on strong involvement from the paddling community. We hope that paddlers seeking selection will participate in more than the minimum number of races and lead by example. Races in which a paddler is disqualified do not count towards the total.
  • Qualifying races must be open to all competitors. So, events that are class or age specific do not count as a qualifying race.
  • We recognize that many paddlers participate in other forms of paddling and in club-based or other races. Whilst participation in these events is encouraged it does not count towards the minimum requirement of State-level marathon races.
