Well done to everyone that took part in yesterdays Well done to everyone that took part in yesterdays race! It was the penultimate leg of the @trudamylife @dusicanoemarathon Series, and interesting to see that his third place points were enough to vault @mikembanjwa above @hankmcgregor on the men's log! @bridgittehartley tops the women's log. Have a closer look at the log on the Dusi website. #ozziegladwin

With less than two weeks to go to the @trudamylife With less than two weeks to go to the @trudamylife @dusicanoemarathon , a huge field of eager paddlers will gather at Albert Falls Dam on Sunday for the @designslighthouse Ozzie Gladwin Canoe Marathon for arguably the best opportunity to gauge Dusi racing form after a year build-up moulded by lockdown restrictions on training and competition. The 26 km race starts with a lap on Albert Falls dam before a long Dusi style portage out of the Msinsi reserve and around the dam wall and down to the uMngeni River for a 21km river leg to the finish at Thornvale Farm. The race, which is traditionally one of the biggest one-day races on the national calendar, forms the penultimate leg of the MyLife Dusi Series and has attracted a K1 field loaded with Dusi podium contenders. Hank McGregor, who has won the last two editions of the Ozzie Gladwin, is itching to test himself against the likely men’s Dusi A batch hopefuls including Hamish Lovemore, who partnered him to their K2 win in the last Ozzie Gladwin in Euro Steel team colours. The MyLife team will be fronted by another former Ozzie winner Thulani Mbanjwa, Msawenkosi Mtolo and reigning Dusi K2 champion Khumbulani Nzimande. Bridgitte Hartley, who has been confirmed as the female paddler in the MyLife team for the Dusi will also be on the start line, along with a powerful elite women’s field that will include junior Saskia, Jenna Ward, who may opt to keep her cards close to her chest as she recovers from her ankle injury by opting to paddle in a K2 with her brother Jason. The race uses the regular water releases from Albert Falls to Nagle Dam, which is Durban’s principle water supply source, and assures the paddlers of good water levels on the uMngeni river. Much of the river section is easy, novice-friendly river, including obstacles like the Albert Falls weir, the Cascades and a series of fun rapids below the Wartberg road bridge covering the three kilometres into the finish at Thornvale Farm. The event will be fully compliant with the event protocols set out by Canoeing South Africa for its races, and paddlers will be expected to arrive just in time for their batch sta

Heads up Ozzie paddlers. Here is a full descriptio Heads up Ozzie paddlers. Here is a full description of the route. There is an important change to dam leg taking you past the start to a new portage at the dam wall. This is to keep crowding away from Bon Accorde Park. LIGHTHOUSE DESIGN OZZIE GLADWIN ROUTE DESCRIPTION (New Route) 1.Water start facing north (away from the dam wall), between the red buoy and the starter on the bank. 2. Paddle anticlockwise around the buoy and proceed towards the buoy in Clan Bay. 3.Turn anti-clockwise around the buoy in Clan Bay, paddle directly towards the next buoy in Kyalami Bay. 4.Turn anti-clockwise around the buoy in Kyalami Bay and paddle directly to the bouy on the point of the island. 5.Proceed clockwise around the buoy and paddle deep water past the start bouy, to the takeout next to the dam wall. 6.Follow the marked portage to the put-in at the picnic site and from there paddle the entire upper Umgeni stretch until the Wartburg Road bridge. (Remember after cascades stay right. Left of the gum trees is dangerous). 7.Immediately after the Wartburg Road bridge take out on the left bank and follow the marked portage to the marked put-in. (Tree Block) 8.Paddle to the finish. A marshal will be at John Deere Rapid. (There are three lines, the safest being on the far left). NB: Drivers and seconds are asked to exercise extreme caution at the Greytown Road and Wartburg Road Bridges. If you wish to view the race at either of these bridges, please ensure that you park well away from the bridges and off the road. There have been some very near disasters in the past! @dusicanoemarathon @kwazulunatalcanoeclub @kzn_canoeing @designslighthouse #OzzieGladwin

Novice friendly, and great MyLife @dusicanoemarathon training with a dam paddle, portage and a river sector with a bit of everything. Water? The biggest question. Fortunately this section of river is used to convey water from Albert Falls Dam to Nagle Dam, which is Durban's main water supply dam. KNCU's Water Liaison man Kevin Trodd is confident there will be good water for the race! #OzzieGladwin
