The Malta Canoe Federation will be hosting the 2012 Buff Malta Manoel Island races on October 21 at the Sliema Ferries.

There will be changes to the traditional events that included three-lap races as this time there will be a one-lap fun race around Manoel Island, a one-lap team event (each side to include a racing kayak, a sea kayak and a canoe polo kayak) and children’s races over a relatively short dis-tance of 200m.

For this year’s events, the federation is urging those with a passion for kayaking to join in the races.

Those who do not own a kayak may also participate as Gozo Adventures shall make available their own kayaks for the races in a bid to promote the sport.

Registration takes place between 8 and 8.30 a.m. The first race starts at 9 a.m. One may obtain more details by phoning the federation secretary on 9946-4372.
