Short Course - 10km

We are trying a brand new course this year. 2 x 5km laps right in front of Oceana to maximise spectator value and keep the racing nice and tight. The biggest change to note from years prior is the start line will be perpendicular to the start line set for the long course. Paddlers will line up facing the end of the Cape Town harbour wall in the direction of Milnerton between the Oceana timing tower and Granger Bay break water. You will race out to the end of the harbour wall, turn left around a buoy, head direct to a big yellow buoy, just off the wreck in front of the Radisson Hotel, also known as Thermos. Turn left around the buoy and back to the start, rinse and repeat. The finish will be between the chequered flag on the shore and the Prescient branded large buoy, right in front of the Oceana timing tower.
