Adventurethon Clarence Valley – Clarence River Rush

The Clarence Valley event provides a stunning river paddle. This paddle will be very exciting for first timers in rapids and also safe enough for beginners to “have a crack” and learn as they go. More experienced paddlers have the opportunity to get ahead tackle the rapids.

You can forget about all the stresses and routines of life and completely lose yourself in the adventure of this paddle. It’s a quiet, isolated, wilderness paddle so you wont see any roads until you reach the finish line.

There are deep pools followed by adrenaline producing shallow gravel races at each of the Grade 1 and 2 rapids. This paddles is great even when river levels are low as it’s mainly the speed of the gravel races that change.

A gravel races is one of the least technical features where the river narrows and water shoots down faster without major large rocks or features to avoid. These gravel races are fun to run because you simply aim the nose down into the moving water.

A couple of the rapids have easier slower and less obstructed lines as well as faster but riskier lines which will be marked for your ease come event weekend.

Choose from 2km, 9km or 20km.
