SA Canoe Marathon: Grootbos Athletes Shine

Congratulations to CJ and Khanyisa for placing 3rd in the under 23 K2 category at the SA Canoe Marathon Championships held in Gauteng last weekend. Your dedication and hard work have paid off!

We also want to give a special shoutout to Sakhe, who participated in his first canoe marathon in the Under 12 Guppie category. Despite facing challenges, including being separated from his boat during a portage leg, Sakhe showed incredible determination and spirit.
