Breede River Canoe Marathon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Breede River Canoe Marathon is an annual South African K2 (doubles) race down the Breede River from Robertson to Swellendam in the Western Cape over a distance of 75 km. The two-day race through scenic wine country, was first run in 1968, and is usually held during September when good rains ensure reasonable water levels.[1]
