The Myall Classic is a major multi-distance event on the NSW paddling calendar. It is held on the Myall River at Tea Gardens each September on the last Saturday (ie 6 days) before the school holidays,… taking both competitive and recreational paddlers up the Myall River and return. There are a range of distances and starting times, intended to see all paddlers complete their chosen course by early afternoon. Distances offered are 12km, 27km and 47km, the longer course being a perfect preparation for the Clarence 100 and longer events such as the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic held in early November. Due to its protected nature, the Myall Classic is a safe, scenic though testing event in the largely unspoilt Great Lakes Marine Park. Conditions can vary considerably though the usual scenario presents paddlers with clear blue skies and warm weather. A light Easterly breeze is usually present in the early afternoon. Three course distances are: 47km course to Tamboi, and return. 27km course to Engels Reach pontoon, and return. 12 km course to a Tamboi Queen Jetty, and return. Special Student Challenge Course 27km course to Engels Reach pontoon and return, 9.30am start only. Paddlers can select from 2 start times for each of the open 47km and 27km distances. Slower paddlers (who paddle at speeds less than 10kmh average) MUST start in the earlier start for each distance.
