Achievements

LCRK has a proud record in both club and individuals achievements.

Hawkesbury Canoe Classic

'The Classic' was Started by NSW Outward Bound Ex Students Association in 1977. This 111km race runs overnight close to the full moon in late October or early November and starts at Windsor and finishes at Brooklyn. In 1977 the race had 250 paddlers and raised $8,500 for the Arrow Foundation and has now grown to over 600 paddlers and raises over $300,000 per year. Those paddlers just wanting to have a fun and social evening can enter the Brooklyn or Bust classes whilst the more competitive paddlers challenge themselves to beat previous records or their own PB's.

HCC - Commonwealth Bank Cup

The Commonwealth Bank Cup competition was started in 1988 to encourage friendly competition between kayak clubs. Clubs accumulate points based on a formula of kilometers paddled, number of finishers and how close representatives come to current class records.

LCRK has had an excellent history in the Cup, winning it 18 years out of the 24 years it has been running.

LCRK Commonwealth Cup wins;

  • 2010 - 2011
  • 2008 - 2003
  • 1990 - 1999 (as Lane Cove Valley Canoe Club)
