Dwellingup, WA

Welcome to the Murray River Downhill paddle – Adventurethon Demolish Dwellingup – Stage 1.

Paddle the picturesque Murray River from your starting point to our finish line in Ravenswood. These downriver courses are very scenic but don’t let that distract you from reaching the finish line so you can collect a finishers medallion.

Important announcement:

Due to low water levels in the upper Murray River and a poor long range weather forecast we have made the decision to shift the paddle stage to our alternative course on the lower Murray River. 

Date: Saturday 25^th May 2019

Competitor options: Ultra (long) 17 km; Enduro (medium) 9 km; Taste/Junior 2 km

Race distances will be a little longer for the Ultra and Enduro distances at 17 and 9 km respectively and the Taste/Junior course stays at 2 km. The paddle stage now becomes a flat water paddle so becomes available to almost all paddle craft from the fastest carbon skis to the kids plastic playthings provided they have built in floatation. A bus will be organised to get competitors to their start lines from race HQ (finish for all distances). Competitors need to get their own craft to start lines and allow enough time to return to race HQ before the bus leaves (remember the bus needs to get competitors to their starts well before race briefing). Briefing and start times remain as per the original schedule.

Registrations: Registration is online only. Registrations close 9:00 pm Thursday 23^rd May or when sold out.

Race Pack Pickup: Friday 24th May 6pm – 8pm; Dwellingup Hotel (crn Marrinup & Newton Streets) – Head for the Dinning Room

You must attend in person to collect your race pack as you will need to sign an indemnity form.  You will also need to nominate an emergency contact person (so make sure you have your phone handy if you’re not great at remembering phone numbers).

If you can’t pick up your pack on the Friday you can pick up from 1hr prior to race briefing.

Presentations: 10:00 am at Ravenswood race HQ

All paddlers will receive their medallions at Presentations. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each category will be presented and all finishers will be invited to collect a finishers medallion.

General information:

Beginners and Juniors can choose to challenge themselves at the beginner friendly Taste or Junior distance, not as challenging as the Ultra or Enduro distances but no less fun. More adventurous paddlers looking for a little more might opt to undertake the Enduro event, a longer distance with great scenery along the way. For the real adventurer, and most fun, the Ultra is your option; a journey in life from Pinjarra to Ravenswood with plenty of fun.

All paddle craft, kayak, SUP, Ski, outrigger, K1, carbon or plastic, etc., are suitable for this event as long as they have some buoyancy (EG FOAM or be a sealed unit like a ski).

For some participants this will be the first of three stages as they attempt to complete the Ultimate Adventurethon Demolish. Others will take a more leisurely approach and perhaps only tackle the paddle stage before heading off to spectate at the other events and get their kicks that way. Whatever approach you take we guarantee you will have a blast.

All riders will receive their medallions at Presentations. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each category will be presented and all finishers will be invited to collect a finishers medallion.

General information:

The Marrinup Loop provides creates an awesome course for beginners and juniors with lots of fun without the technical challenges of the longer courses. More adventurous riders looking for a little more adventure might opt to undertake the Enduro event, a longer distance with more technical sections to negotiate but this course should be achievable for beginners that are really up for a challenge. For the real adventurer, and most fun, the Ultra is your option; a long cross country course with lots of fun sections interspersed with some technical challenges.

To get to race HQ we will mark the access road (Bandicoot Rd) with red and white tape. To get there just head out from Dwellingup along Dell Park Rd to the Bandicoot Rd turn-off and follow the tape (see map). There is a short video on the event facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/events/1986728198287464/?active_tab=discussion) to assist with navigation if you are not familiar with the area.

For some participants this will be the third of three stages as they attempt to complete the Ultimate Adventurethon Demolish. Others will take a more leisurely approach and perhaps only tackle this stage. Whatever approach you take we guarantee you will have a blast. You won’t get bored as you traverse different terrains on these courses.
