For the second year running the Outlaw Ocean Paddling will support its charity partner the YMCA & the inland Outrigger club base at Echuca by competing in the Echuca Mini.

This 50km flat water race is an excellent way to start the Outlaw season for both endurance and early series points.
Those paddlers accustomed to crashing through waves or screaming downwind legs will have to put them on hold and go back to days of clocking up the km's by man power to complete this event.

Held on Sunday, 17 October, 2010, this is a great event with money going to the YMCA to help people in need. Also with such a positive result from the Outlaw paddlers last year and large participation numbers the YMCA this year will be donating an OUTLAW Trophy.
So test yourself your technique & endurance and see you at the start-line for Outlaw 1st event of this season. (Outlaw Paddling events were never meant to be easy )

Event information:

Starting in Barmah and finishing 50km away under the bridge in Echuca. Race course has only two rest/check points, the first at the 17km mark, the second 21km later. Don't expect to see anything else but your fellow competitors for the next three to four hours of racing, depending on which type of craft you paddle.

Take the challenge ocean paddlers! This race has been put on with the YMCA for you to test yourself over a completely different paddling course and distance. This event is ideal preparation and training for your marathon experience.
