No. The Hawkesbury Classic exists to raise money for medical research. All paddlers across all distances must raise a minimum of $200 ($100 for juniors).

There is likely to be a daytime (morning) familiarisation paddle, at least of the Sackville to Wisemans leg, in August or September, to aid in the navigation during the actual event. This has proved beneficial to first timers although it will be open to all paddlers. Contact the entries co-ordinator for details on (email) entries@canoeclassic.asn.au (mailto:entries@canoeclassic.asn.au)for details.

If you are entering a non-competitive class (100km Brooklyn or Bust, 60km Wisemans or Weep, 30km Sackville or Swim), then you don't have to enter a boat class. However if you are entering a competitive class, please check out Craft Specifications (/craft-specifications-1)and also Competitive Classes (/craft-specifications)under Event Rules.
