 2023 CLASSIC AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS

 

After a three year hiatus, the Classic hit back with a vengeance.

A perfect night on the Hawkesbury River with a full-moon and mild conditions made for a magical return of the Hawkesbury Classic.

From the funds raised by paddlers, the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Association has been able to make the following donations ;

Our principal funds recipient,

The Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation, received a total of $76,000.00.

Other recipients were:

Marine Rescue NSW (Hawkesbury) received $5,000.00

WICEN NSW (A VRA Rescue Squad) received $5,000.00

Nepean / Blue Mountains Prostate Cancer Support Group received $1,000.00

Thank you to all those paddlers who put in an extra effort to raise more than the mandatory minimum.

Let's make the 2024 Classic bigger and better than ever.

 

This year's dates are 26th and 27th October.....lock it in and spread the word. 

We want 250 paddlers taking part this year.
