4 WELCOME TO 2012 NORTHERN MARATHON SERIES Welcome to the twelfth year of the Northern Marathon Series (NMS). The series is strong and will continue with the aim of promoting friendly competition amongst paddlers in Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland The series will continue to be administered by the Gang of Four. Julie Frost of Varsity Lakes Paddlers Club joins the team as our point score coordinator. Myra Holm, from Currumbin, will continue on as treasurer. Linda Parsons, from Sandgate Canoe Club, is our date coordinator. I am Colin Cussel, from Far North Coast Canoe Club in Lismore, and I will act as editor of the Northern Marathon Series Booklet and website coordinator. It is hoped that the introduction of a website for the series, will greatly increase communication, allow for some of those great photos that many of us take to be viewed by all, save on printing costs and generally add to the great social feel that our series has. Any contributions to the website are welcome. Please me at nms@canoe.org.au. We have a six race series this year beginning with Bonville Creek Kayak Club s race on the Queensland May Day long weekend (Sunday May 6) and ending with the Currumbin Creek race which will also be held on a NSW and Queensland Long weekend (Sunday September 30). Far North Coast Canoe Club in Lismore has dropped its Woodburn race from this year s series. Sandgate Canoe Club will continue as host member club of the series and Cape Byron Canoe Club has changed its name to Cape Byron Kayaks and is now a part of the Byron Surf Life Saving Club while continuing to remain affiliated with PaddleNSW. So, happy paddling in 2012!

5 GENERAL INFORMATION Organisation The Northern Marathon Series attracts a wide spectrum of paddlers from New South Wales and Queensland. Races in the Series are conducted by the hosting Canoe Clubs and are linked by a point score designed to promote participation as well as acknowledge the speediest paddlers. Paddlers of any level of skill and in any type of paddle craft are welcome to join in the competition. Northern Marathon Series Co-ordination: Treasurer Myra Holm myra.errol@gmail.com Booklet Colin Cussel nms@canoe.org.au Club Liaison: Linda Parsons lindapatricia1963@gmail.com Point Score: Julie Frost ijfrostys@gmail.com Funding The Northern Marathon Series is self-funding using monies raised by the clubs that host races each year. Half the race entry fees go into the Northern Marathon Series bank account, up to a maximum of $150 per race; the other half, or more if greater than $150, is retained by the hosting club. The Series funds are mainly used to cover cost of printing the Series booklet and providing certificates and awards for the Series Presentations, and to replace boat numbers lost in action. Associated Events A goal of the Northern Marathon Series is to foster friendships amongst paddlers and their families and fellow travellers, so each host club is encouraged to organise some associated fun activities such as handicap sprint races on Saturday afternoon when the race is held on Sunday. Also, a preferred venue for dinner on the Saturday evening is either included in this booklet or will be advised prior to the event and we encourage paddlers and their families and friends to take these opportunities to socialise. Every town has something to offer for those who can spare some time in the area. Take an extra day or two if you can to visit the host towns and enjoy more than just the paddling. AGE & GENDER CATEGORIES Age categories are based on the age of the competitor as at 1 January Open Aged 18 to 34 years of age at 1 January 2012 Young Vets Aged 35 to 49 years of age at 1 January 2012 Mature Vets Aged 50 to 64 years of age at 1 January 2012 Vintage Vets Aged 65 or more at 1 January 2012 Under 18s Aged 16 or 17 years of age at 1 January 2012 Under 16s Aged 14 or 15 years of age at 1 January 2012 Under 14s Aged 12 or 13 years of age at 1 January 2012 Under 12s All paddlers who are aged 11 years or younger at I January 2012 Gender: Male, Female, Mixed Age category for Doubles is determined by the age of the younger competitor for Seniors (i.e. Open and Vets) and the age of the older competitor for Juniors. Under 14s compete over a short course, approximately half the distance of the full course. Under 16s may compete in the short or long course but will be awarded full points for either. Under 18s paddle the same distance as the Open and will receive half points if they choose to compete in the short course. While not all venues list a special short course for very young paddlers, novice or board paddlers, these can be arranged as required. Northern Marathon Series Booklet p5

6 BOAT CLASSES Any canoe or kayak will be accepted on the day, and will be placed in one of the following classes: International Racing Classes: K1, K2, K4, C1, C2 Australian Touring Classes: TK1, TK2, TC1, TC2 Surf Skis: SSki1, SSki2 (Surf Skis are made to SLSA Specifications.) Recreational Kayaks (e.g. sea kayaks): Rec 1, Rec2 Unrestricted: Un1, Un2, (includes ocean racing skis) Slalom Outriggers, dragon boats and any other vessels that float are also welcome if they can complete the distance within the time boundaries set by the host club. ENTRY FEES The entry fee per race for financial members of a club affiliated with PaddleNSW or Queensland Canoeing is: Senior paddlers $12 Juniors $5 The two Queensland Clubs (Currumbin and Sandgate) have to pay dues to both Northern Marathon Series and Queensland Canoeing so they may charge more than this amount. All other paddlers will be required to pay an additional $10 per race for insurance purposes. Membership of the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia does not provide insurance cover so the extra charge will apply if a paddler is not also a member of an affiliated canoe club. RACE START TIMES & COURSES The first start will be at the time shown in this book but there may be multiple starts based on boat class, division or course length. The type of starts is determined by the host club and will be announced at the race briefing. Courses shown in the book may change on the day, depending on weather and other factors that may impact on the safety of paddlers. SERIES AWARDS Individual All paddlers are eligible for Series Participation Certificates. These are presented to paddlers who complete at least three races, regardless of class or point score, and show venue, distance, class and time for each event completed. In addition, awards will be made to 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd eligible place getters in each class at the presentation night. Club Host clubs are welcome, and encouraged, to provide prizes at their own events. These may include Lucky Draw prizes at the conclusion of each presentation for which only paddlers still present will be eligible. There will be a Series Award for the club that accumulates the most points throughout the Series. The points for all members of a club count towards the Series Club Award, regardless of whether the individual paddlers qualify for Series awards. Clubs are asked to ensure paddlers who claim to be members of their club are in fact financial members at the time they race. Paddlers are asked to support their local clubs by maintaining their membership throughout the year. Across the Border Challenge Participation by paddlers from NSW and Queensland is roughly equal so there will be a tally kept of points accumulated by paddler's state of residence rather than the club to which they belong. This point score will be published after each race to add interest to the competition. There will be no trophy, just State boasting rights at the end of the season. Northern Marathon Series Booklet p6

7 PRESENTATIONS For each race Awards for each race, including the race finale, are determined by the host club and will be handed out as soon as possible after the last competitor finishes. Series Presentations Date: Sunday 30 September, 2012 Location: To be advised, Currumbin Time: Dinner from 6pm, presentations from 7.30pm Point Scores SERIES POINT SCORES & PRIZES Individual To be eligible for the Northern Marathon Series point scores a paddler must complete at least four (4) races in the Series in the same class, with their final score being the sum of the best 5 out 6 results including bonus (travel) points. Participation in both long and short courses will be counted. At the end of the Series, 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd awards will be made in all classes and will be calculated on the following basis: For the long course: 10 points for winning, 7 points for 2 nd, 5 points for 3 rd, 4 points for 4 th, 3 points for 5 th, 2 points for 6 th, and 1 point for 7 th and below who finish. For the short course: half the points shown above. Points cannot be transferred into different classes but long and short course points will be counted in the same class. No points will be awarded if a competitor fails to finish the course for which they nominated except when a paddler starts in the long course but can only finish the short. They will be awarded short course points as long as they cross the finish line as required and notify the judges at the time of finishing. Paddlers in doubles will both receive full points as above. Both long and short course paddlers will be awarded full relevant bonus travel points. Club Perpetual Trophy A trophy will be awarded to the Club with the most points for the Series. For this award, the total point score is the sum of points awarded to financial members of clubs for all races in which they compete, plus their travel points. Travel Bonus Points The Northern Marathon Series is first and foremost about participation. To encourage paddlers to travel to all venues, including those furthest from them, bonus travel points are awarded. Bonus points are based on the relationship of a club to the host club (see table following). Competitors who do not belong to one of the host clubs will receive the same points as those from the host club to which they are geographically closest. For instance, paddlers from clubs in the Brisbane area receive the same points as Sandgate Canoe Club members, while Sydney paddlers align with Forster-based Great Lakes Canoe Club. Just Paddlers is a unique club in that its members are drawn from all over NSW and from Queensland. Travel points for Just Paddlers members are, therefore, assigned according to their home state. Those who live in Queensland will receive points in line with Currumbin Creek Canoe Club, while those living in NSW will receive points in line with Great Lakes Canoe Club. The same principle applies to persons who may belong to a distant club but their residential address is within the area of a host Club. Northern Marathon Series Booklet p7

9 BOAT AND RACE SAFETY Preparing for the race We can find a place for any type of paddle craft but this is on the understanding they are well-constructed and have sufficient fixed buoyancy to float level when full of water. Paddlers aged 14 and under must wear a Type 2 or 3 Personal Flotation Device (PFD). This is an essential requirement for insurance purposes. Other paddlers who are not strong swimmers should consider wearing a PFD as well. All paddlers MUST wear PFDs if they are directed to do so by a race official. We recommend paddlers wear some kind of footwear, sun-safe clothing, sunscreen and a hat. During the race Paddlers should observe the rules of navigation, keeping to the right (starboard) side of a channel when proceeding past approaching craft. Take particular care when cutting a corner, keeping a close watch for on-coming craft. Assistance must be given to any paddler in distress. The safety of human life far outweighs the importance of winning. Your race time will be adjusted if you lose time assisting another. Carry and consume sufficient water to prevent dehydration.
