Victoria Lake Canoe Club (VLC) hosted their annual Night Race last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“The turnout was great, we had more people signing up just before the race,” said VLC’s Wayne Saunders.<\/p>

The race was an ideal opportunity for paddlers heading for the Dusi Marathon, to refine their racing and portaging techniques.<\/p>\n

The Dusi is scheduled to take place this week, from February 19 to 21.<\/p>

The race gave paddlers the opportunity to squeeze in some last minute practice.<\/p>\n

Long sleeved shirts and a free meal were given to the first 150 entrants.<\/p>\n

The 15km race comprised of five laps of 3km distances, each with a short portage.<\/p>\n
