.... News and Events
Siavonga Canoe Challenge 2013
Siavonga Canoe Challenge 2013 will take place on Saturday 15th June 2013.
at Eagles Rest Resort - Siavonga
The cost for the entry of a team is KR3,000
The money will be used for logistical costs, charity donations (KR10,000) and to help promote Siavonga as a Tourist Destination. This is a non profit making event and any money left over after costs and charity monies are paid out will go to the Siavonga Tourism & Business Development Association to help promote the town of Siavonga.
You are invited to sponsor this event by entering a team of paddlers to compete.
In order to involve the local community, each team will consist of 3 paddlers, two nominated by you and one local member of the community selected by your team on the day. The local member of the team will not only provide additional energy and stamina, but also provide local knowledge of the route and of Siavonga.
Whilst the event is a canoe race, the first home is not necessarily the winner. The teams will race from Eagles Rest Beach to Lake Kariba Inns where they will begin to search for hidden objects and other information from clues given to them at the start of the race. The teams will be awarded points for the time taken to complete the course and also for the number of clues solved.
Included in your team entry fee is camping space at Eagles Rest for your team members (they will need to bring a tent and bedding), two breakfasts, one lunch, two dinners, and a t-shirt and cap printed with your company name.
