KCC Olympics Multidiscipline Race Day

​Saturday, August 17 2024

 Kilcullen Canoe Club hosted it's inaugural Club Race Day, and what a day it was!

Organized by the dynamic duo, Anthony and Oisín, the event was packed with paddling, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The day kicked off bright and early with registration at 9:00 AM, as excited club members gathered by the water, ready to take on the challenge. The action began at 9:30 AM with the Slalom Race, where paddlers weaved their way through a tricky course, showcasing their skills and determination.

At 11:30 AM, it was time for the Marathon Race, pushing everyone to their limits with a test of endurance and speed. But the competition was only half the fun—at 12:30 PM, the smell of sizzling burgers filled the air as Anthony, our head chef for the day, fired up the BBQ. Club members refueled and relaxed, sharing stories of their morning’s adventures.

The afternoon brought more excitement with a Polo Competition at 2:00 PM, where teams battled it out in a fast-paced and thrilling games on the water. The friendly rivalry was in full swing, with cheers and splashes echoing across the river and lots of whistling from Jake!

As the day drew to a close, the much-anticipated prize giving took place at 5:00 PM.
