PRIZES AND GIVE-AWAYS
Cash prizes go to category winners and gold medals go to the first 10 finishers. Medals go to all finishers within the cut-off.
WATER QUALITY
Since the river is tidal, the water is salty and muddy. The event is always swum with the tide.
FACILITES
The event is a family day out with a village-fair atmosphere. Families can picnic along the river bank, and food stalls and a beer tent are on offer.
