Organising chairman Andrew Joris Noyen said the Padawan Municipal Council (PMC) event promises local and international participants an exciting time along the Sungai Sarawak Kiri.
The six categories are expert (40km), kayaking (40km), men’s open (26km), and women’s, government agencies, as well as hotel and tour agencies categories, which would be around 22km.
“As of now, we have 24 teams which have registered for the event, and we are expecting more and hope to see again another great turnout this year as last year’s event, as the closing date approaches,” Andrew told a press conference yesterday.
He added there will be many side activities such as cultural dances, songs and local traditional cuisine. As with previous years, the starting points for the event are at Kampung Annah Rais for the kayak and expert categories, Kampung Temurang for the men’s open, and Kampung Danu for the other categories.
Assistant Minister for Public Health Datuk Dr Jerip Susil has been invited to officially close the event at Kampung Git.
The closing date for registration is Aug 12.
