Looking for a fun and competitive K4 racing opportunity? The Reading K4 Multi-Event is your chance to test your crew’s marathon stamina and sprint speed all in one exciting day of racing!
Join us for a unique event that combines 5km mass-start racing with 500m sprint showdowns, giving paddlers a chance to showcase both endurance and raw power in larger K4 boats.
Event Format
Morning Session – 5km Marathon Race
Each crew will race in a mass-start 5km event around the club’s classic course, featuring multiple turns and challenges. Boats will compete in ability-based categories: A, B, C, or D, with Category D completing a 2.5km course.
All crews will earn points based on their placement in this race.
Afternoon Session – 500m Sprints
Crews will return to the water for two exciting 500m sprint runs:
- A Time Trial to determine seeding for the finals.
2. Finals Races – go head-to-head with other boats in 3–4 races
to prove your sprinting power!
Points from the 5km and 500m finals will be combined to determine the overall champions in each category.
