Newy Paddlers Pride Round - Sun 15 Feb

Get ready to paddle loud, proud and spectacularly colourful as Newy Paddlers turns up the sparkle for our Pride Round! This is your excuse to break out the brightest kit, the boldest outfits and the most fabulous race face you can muster. Dressing up isn’t just encouraged – it’s celebrated!

Join us for a fun-filled short course race with a twist, where the vibes are high, the competition is friendly and everyone is welcome. There’ll be prizes for divisional winners, plus a BONUS prize for the brightest and sparkliest dressed male and female paddlers – sequins, colour and flair highly recommended.

As if that wasn’t enough, all paddlers entering the Pride Day Race at a cost of $10, will score FREE ENTRY to the Throsby Seafood Festival at the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club. Paddle hard, then kick back, refuel and soak up the festival atmosphere with family and friends.
