Dusi 69

The 69th annual Dusi Canoe Marathon was held from 27 to 29 February 2020. The Dusi is a canoeing marathon which covers roughly 120km between the cities of Pietermaritzburg and Durban and is the biggest canoeing event on the African continent. It attracts athletes from around the world.

The race takes place over 3 days, and is 3 stages of approximately 40km per day of canoeing or portaging (walking / running with your boat) where the rivers are not passable.

Behind the scenes there is always a support team required….
