DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES OUT OF OUR CONTROL 
Paddle Across The Bay will be on SUNDAY, February 25th 2024.

Paddlers will meet at Brighton Beach at 6 am and loop back to Brighton Beach by 8 am (it’s a leisurely 10km!).

Family and friends can welcome paddlers at Port Melbourne shoreline and engage in market stalls, activities and breakfast while you cheer them onto the finish line.

Be at the start line (Green point; Brighton beach) to check in between 6 am - 6.45 am. Your ticket will be sent to you by email. Check-in closes at 6.45 am.

You may pick up your event T-shirt at the registration desk (Let us know your preferred size!).

The registration process is quite simple, have your ticket ready to be scanned to be Checked In.

We will mark your arm with a number as a safety precaution.

At 6.30 am, your safety briefing and the warm-up session will begin so that we are all ready to enter the water and start the 10km journey.

Once paddlers arrive at the finish line and check out, they can begin to enjoy the stalls and activities

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK OUT AT THE FINISH LINE

Paddle Across The Bay is open to everyone, encouraging all fitness and experience levels. You do not have to be a professional paddler or even have tried it before! Paddle Across the Bay is NOT a race and we encourage you to come out and enjoy the water in a safe and inclusive environment with us to help fundraise for mental health and suicide awareness. Help us fundraise along the way!

Paddle Across the Bay has a flat-fee registration fee of $110 for all our members. The registration fee helps cover our event personnel, life guards, safety boats and council permits to run this event for our paddlers safely. The registration fee also includes an exclusive, limited edition 2024 event t-shirt for you to wear whilst you paddle and is yours to keep.

If you have a small business and it's relevant in the wellness and lifestyle spaces, please get in touch with our events team. Market stall applications for Paddle Across The Bay are now OPEN. Please register your interest by sending an enquiry through the contact us page.
