Invitation to all CFA members:
A team of firefighters will be taking part in this year's YMCA Murray Marathon - the iconic five day canoe race from Yarrawonga to Swan Hill - as part of the inaugural Emergency Services Challenge Cup.
The fireys are already in training in Albury but need more paddlers to fill the team.
The YMCA Murray Marathon is the longest canoe/kayak race in the southern hemisphere and 2013 will be the 45th race.
The 2012 event attracted 400+ paddlers and 1,500 ground crew, moving along the Murray River between Yarrawonga & Swan Hill for the 5 days between Boxing Day & New Years Day.
There is more information on the YMCA website www.murraymarathon.ymca.org.au/
