Welcome to The Non-Stop Dusi 2013!

If you are reading about this race, you are obviously looking to challenge yourself to the highest degree. So let’s see what you are really made of?

The Non-Stop may have originated from very humble and unstructured beginnings; however, the event has quickly evolved into an event that every extreme endurance athlete wants to participate in. With this increased popularity, so come additional pressures on organizing the event and allowing paddlers to enter.

Prior to 2012, the rules for qualifying and completing the race had been relaxed. In order to return the event to its original extreme status, we have reinstated the original cut off times that were in place at the origin of the event.

We have brought back the Finger Neck cut off of 4 hours from the start time, and the dam Wall cut off that we reintroduced last year of 2.30pm will again be in place. These cut offs will not be relaxed in any way, regardless of the river or weather conditions.

We are hoping that all paddlers who participate in this event will cherish their achievements and recognize the Non-Stop as the World’s Toughest One Day Canoe marathon.

We look forward to seeing you on the startline at dawn on raceday!

Train Hard and race easy.
