Welcome to Wetdashe 2024, a “DRY” CHANGE RACE, which means 6-person crews hotswap on the dock with their team mates at the end of each 3km sprint lap. Dock-change times are included in your team’s aggregate time, so efficient changes get the best results.
Boats: Both Spec & Ultralight options are available: spec boats supplied for 12 & 24km distances; ultralights supplied for 48km distances.
Race Distances: Three distances to choose from: 12km (4-Lap Short Course) or 24km (8-Lap) or 48km – 16 lap (running concurrently based on advance crew registrations for one of these three distances).
Race Categories: Classic women’s and/or mixed (no less than three women must be in the canoe at any one time); or exhibition crews (e.g. all-male crews or crews with over-quota males) can register and race along with mixed crews with results logged in the “exhibition” category.
Race fees come with souvenir race shirts (ordered in advance in preferred sizes) and plenty of prizes and awards. Early-registering teams will have the best chances to choose the mornings or afternoons of their choice (Saturday tends to sell out quickly).
