SA Schools Boat Race (Port Alfred)

When: Dates to be confirmed (Friday, 06 December 2013 to Sunday, 08 December 2013)
Where: Port Alfred
Categories: Outdoor Events / Sporting Events

Head to the Kowie River in Port Alfred this December to witness one of the premier national boating events on the schools' calendar.

The event is modelled on the Oxford / Cambridge boat race and sees a number of passionate teams from schools around the country battle it out in the water. Showcasing the young boys and girls who have trained exceptionally hard for the event, putting in long hours, your support and cheers will be welcomed.

The race is physically demanding and requires consistent rhythm for the full length of the race. Boys compete in a 6km boys' eight (eight-oared boats) while the girls take part in girls' quads (four-oared boats) on a 4.2km course.

Come and watch one of the most beautiful boat races in the country.

Venue: The Kowie River, Port Alfred
