Congratulations are due to all of those who participated in the prestigious Berg River Canoe Marathon in July. 2025. Hank Mc Gregor won the race for an incredible 14th time, followed by ever-green Robbie Herreveld, a six-time previous winner, and Siseko Ntondeni in third. Jenna Nisbett won the woman’s race, followed by Nix Birkett. Special mention must be made of Jannie Malherbe who finished his 52nd out of 63 Berg River Marathon Races. He won the races in 1963,4 and 5. All this goes to prove that canoeing is a lifetime sport to be enjoyed by all throughout their lives, age being no barrier to getting on a craft and enjoying the pleasure of gliding across water and through nature using only your own power.
