Weather Condition

As this event is conducted outdoors, please keep an eye out on VUPA's social media for further updates if the weather is not in our favour for this event to proceed.

On The Day

Please keep an eye out for VUPA members that morning, we will be wearing our VUPA t-shirt. We will be taking your attendance and checking in with all participants on the day. Please arrive by 8:15 am to ease the process of taking attendance.

Melbourne Flames will be spending about an hour on the water. Participants please arrive on time so we can provide you with a paddle and life jacket before the team warm-up and safety briefing.

The lucky first 15 sign-ups will be able to collect their t-shirt after the event.

Light refreshments will be provided after the event.
