From 7 -9 August, a competitive field of paddlers will take on the mighty Orange River, vyingfor a massive R450,000prize purse.<\/strong><\/p><p>Staged in the Northern Cape Province on a 100-kilometre stretch of the Orange River between Upington and Augrabies, this three-day racehas attracted some of the country\u2019s top paddlers. They are enthusiastic in their praise for the race, the Orange River and the Green Kalahari region.\u00a0<\/p><p>Last year Cape-based paddler Jasper Mocke won the men&#8217;s K1 race.\u00a0 \u201cThis new race is definitely very exciting and it will remain so for the next three to four years due to the unpredictability of the river,&#8221; he says.\u201cPaddlers also have different options to explore during each stage. I really enjoyed the final stage as the river was narrower, fuller and faster and you had to paddle harder.&#8221;<\/p><p>Race organiser Gawie Niewoudt is tight-lipped about this year&#8217;s conditions, which can be affected by rainfall upstream or a dam release.&#8221;For every 50 centimetres that the water level drops or rises, the river changes dramatically,&#8221; he explains.<\/p><p>This year, for the first time, GKCM welcomes three pairs of international paddlers. They&#8217;re coming to the Northern Cape from Sweden and the Czech Republic. The Swedish teams include Rasmus Jaruta with Per Emil Torstensson and Frank Elis Weslien with Jens Hedstrom Bond. Three-times World Championship bronze medallist Michael Odvarkohas teamed up with Czech countryman Kamil Mruzek, a former K1 Wildwater World Champion.<\/p><p>&#8220;Upfront we expect to see ThulaniMbanjwa and SboneloZondi. They&#8217;re both Dusi winners and are exceptionally strong runners during portages,&#8221; says Niewoudt. &#8220;The Czech pair will be strong and it would be worth keeping an eye on Louw van Riet, who is paddling with Luke Stowman. Louw won a gold medal at theBerg River Canoe Marathon two weeks ago. Graeme Solomon and Ivan Kruger will be challenging for the win too.&#8221;<\/p><p>The Green Kalahari Canoe Marathon is hosted in conjunction with the Northern Cape Provincial Department of Economic Development and Tourism as part of their ongoing campaign to promote the Province as the adventure and extreme sports capital of the country.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>According to Nieuwoudt, the international entries will definitely boost the profile of the race.\u00a0 \u201cThis is an incredible opportunity to grow the event and to promote the race on a global platform; international competition always adds to the competitive spirit of the race. The scenery and sheer magnificence of the river are really impressive and we find that competitors become keen ambassadors for the race.<\/p><p>The significant amount of prize money through all the categories definitely also makes it worth their while to make the trip to the Northern Cape. The hospitality of the people and all the great tourist offerings also entice them back again and again,\u201d says Nieuwoudt.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>QUICK REFERENCE<\/strong><\/p><ol><li><strong>Event: Green Kalahari Canoe Marathon<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Date:<\/strong>\u00a07-9 August 2014<\/li><li><strong>Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Orange River.
