Lifestart KAYAK FOR KIDS
| March 30, 2008 |
A great day for you …. a better lifetime for them. Lifestart and AROC Sport have joined together to help make miracles happen for special children who need your help. On Sunday 30 March 2008, hundreds of paddling crafts of all shapes and sizes will line up on the beach next to Manly Wharf, getting ready to dash towards Sydney Harbour for the Lifestart KAYAK FOR KIDS event!
This fantastic fundraising event is open to anyone, from the complete novice to the competitive paddler, and you can paddle solo or part of a friendly social, family, sport team. KAYAK FOR KIDS is the perfect corporate team building event, reinforcing team spirit and satisfying employees’ sense of fun and adventure!
The course, which is one of the most scenic and iconic paddling courses in the country, stretches 21km from a start at Manly Cove, passing by many of the beautiful inner harbour beaches, Sydney Opera House, Kirribilli Point and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to a finish location at Blues Point.
Enter using your own boat as a solo paddler or in a double and complete the full 21km:
OR
Enter as a team of 3 or tag-teams of 6 or even 7-15 paddlers and select stages to complete according to your team’s fitness levels. Participating is easy and you don’t even have to own a boat or watercraft to enter: very stable 3-person sit-on-top kayaks are provided!
Prizes will be awarded to the winning teams and solo competitors in each category with special prizes for the best fundraising teams and individuals.
