The National Sprints program has been developed in order to provide paddlers with the greatest opportunity possible to prepare for the Va'a World Sprints 2016. Due to the requirement for specific qualifying events for the Va'a World Sprints Elite and Club Championships and high levels of paddler interest race scheduling for the 2016 National Sprints will be tight with full days of events. To effectively deliver the desired race program organisers require the support of all paddlers to maximise race capacity. As the National Sprints are being run as a lead into the Va'a World Sprints they will be subject to strict procedural controls. Please ensure you and your team are prepared early and present at Check In / Marshalling as soon as your race is called. Check In Areas will be restricted and once Race Check In has closed no paddlers will be able to enter the Check In area for that race. Organisers will review race scheduling once nominations have been finalised. Be prepared and paddle fast.
