The club’s training squad will help you improve your technique, go FASTER on the water and prepare for race events. The squads are open to all club members – juniors and seniors all welcome - and provide a structured 'club' environment in which you can really focus on improving your paddling, and getting results.
The squad meets on Saturday mornings with coaches Mark Sutherland and Imelda Marnane.Training venue does alternate between Karapiro and Hamilton, so please contact Imelda on 021 277 1229 if you need to check where to go. Weekly emails are also sent to advise members of coaching times and venues.
Please note the squad training is strictly for paid up KKRC members.
The KKRC Club Champs series is a varied programme of races, held each month. Most of the racing is based from the Clubhouse at Karapiro. Paddles accumulate points throughout the season that contribute to your end of year total. We'll fit you into the appropriate grade so you'll be racing against paddlers at a similar level.
Club champs races are not only restricted to KKRC members. ALL kayakers are welcome to take part. Entry per race is $2 for members and $10 for others. We will endeavour to publish the race calendar on the website shortly. Meanwhile, please feel free to contact us if you want to find out more details.
