The 20 km Wyzersdrift K2, raced on the Breede River in fairly low conditions and between the Darling Bridge at the foot of  Bain’s Kloof and Wyzersdrift, had 83 paddlers complete the section, this the second of the K2 races on the Breede River of the K2 season and which will culminate in the annual Breede River K2 Marathon on 3^rd/4th September.

The somewhat smaller field was more a result of the race being held at the end of a long weekend, but the competition was no less as intense up front and between the various categories racing. 

  Final sprint for the line by the winning K2 and K1: Lance King (Milnerton) the K1, Edgar Boehm jnr/Alasdair Glass (Peninsula/Peninsula)  in the K2

If ever there was a reason to canoe the rivers of the Western Cape and in particular, the Breede River in Boland/Klein Karoo region in the Worcester/Robertson region, then the 'Rooiberg Nekkies to Eilandia' K2 canoe race over 27 km, held on Saturday 5th August, 2011, would have been that reason.

Why? Because, there on a beautiful river, flowing at approximately 20 cumecs (i.e. medium to full) and under the soaring, snow-capped peaks of the Hex, Riviersonderend and Langeberg mountain ranges, set off against the brilliant blue of a cloudless sky and with virtually no wind, more than 100 paddlers lined up (albeit in chilly early morning conditions), to race the first of the WCCU K2 season doubles races that culminate in the Breede River Canoe Marathon on 3rd/4th September.

Singapore - The Venue

World Marathon Champs are only held outside of Europe once every 6 years and in the true spirit of Singapore they are determined to make this the best World Champs ever held.

The Organizing Committee have been superb, every detail has been taken care of.

The venue is amazing, in the middle of Singapore, on the Grand Prix Track, with the portage being on the only floating International Soccer Pitch in the world.
