Sail Away With The Recyclable Regatta

Get your swimmers on, it’s time for the unforgettable Whitsunday Escape Recyclable Regatta.

A fan favourite for the Great Barrier Reef Festival, the Recyclable Regatta tests patience, determination, and communication, and is always a laugh for spectators and other competitors.

High-sea pirate shenanigans are sure to ensue, with all sorts of community groups and school groups getting in on the fun of the event.

And what have you got to do?

from the Whitsunday Running Club.

“The lead up is always exciting, and it’s so cool to be able to run down the main street.

“I want everyone to give it a red-hot crack and try and win some cash!”

WHAT: Medibank Magic Mile

WHERE: Airlie Beach Main Street

WHEN: Saturday August 5, 4pm

TOP TIP!

Plastic drums and bamboo poles make excellent floats and frame for a raft, as well as your milk, juice, water and soft drink bottles!

Make your raft out of recycled materials and find a crew of up to three.

Now, all you’ve gotta do is paddle it around the course and be sure not to lose a crewmember!
