The focus of the 2025 Berg River K1 Canoe Series is to encourage participation in the Western Cape Berg River Races.
Just completing the 2025 Berg River Marathon provides an opportunity for paddlers from outside the Western Cape to participate in the series and be part of the lucky draw for the Salt Kayaks K1 and any other prizes which may be added before the prizegiving.
The pre-Berg series events also encourage local Western Cape participants to double their chances by entering and completing more races.
The following are the rules for the lucky draw.
Each paddler will get one entry into the lucky draw for completion of every four race days of the 2025 Berg River K1 Canoe Series races. Each stage of the Berg River Marathon will count as one race day.
To qualify for a prize, entrants must follow or subscribe to at least one of the sponsors’ social media pages (as detailed below).
