The Lismore Paddle Marathon, the 7th race in the Vajda 2015 Northern Marathon Series was conducted on Sunday 30 August. Thanks to all those who made the journey to Lismore and thanks to the many volunteers from Far North Coast Club without whom the event could not happen.
The event was a great success. Many entrants appreciated the new course which was 1, 2 & 3 laps of approximately 6 kilometres in a downstream direction. Many also commented on the yummy food provided by our volunteer cooks,
There were 63 boats some of them doubles. A total of 76 competitors – not too bad day after all.
