Around 300 competitors are expected to converge on Omaha Beach for the National Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Championships and Festival on March 28 and 29.Some of NZ’s top SUP riders will attend the annual event including the women’s world number one champion Annabel Anderson, of Wanaka, and Olympic sailing gold medallist Jo Aleh.In the men’s division, last year’s winners Australians Paul Jackson (12’6”) and

Trevor Tunnington (12’6” junior), and Kiwis Shane Murrell (Masters) and Jeremy Stephenson (technical unlimited) are all expected to be on the beach to defend their titles.As well as Australia, the organisers are expecting competitors from Tahiti.Winners and placegetters at Omaha will be eligible for selection for the NZ ISA World SUP Championships, which will be held in Mexico in May.SUP is a relatively new competitive

sport and this is only the fourth national championship. Previous events were held at Ohope, Orewa and Takapuna.Saturday will be the distance racing day with a 4km and 8km race in the harbour in the morning, and the elite offshore 15km race in the afternoon, with the course set on the day depending on prevailing conditions. On the Sunday, the focus will be on technical racing from the beach which

includes the battle-of-the-paddle style racing. NZ SUP secretary Kristin Percy says there will also be opportunities to join a ‘have-a-go’ one lap race for those who would like to try this style of racing but don’t yet feel quite up to the full multi-lap format. “There will be plenty of other fun stuff going on, including a team relay race,” she says.The event will start with a powhiri.

Classic boosts youth sport

The Omaha Classic starts from the Fraser Reserve, beside the Omaha Surf Club, at 8.15am. Entrants will be racing in the 10km or 5km run, 8km walk, 2km kids dash or junior beach dash.

A new athletic youth scholarship is up for grabs at the Omaha Classic on Saturday March 28.The winner of the 5km youth race will take home a cash prize to put towards training, entry fees, coaching or sports gear. “The Omaha Classic Youth Scholarship is a fantastic way to support an aspiring young athlete,” event spokesperson Rob Anderson says. “If you want to be the best, you need to compete against the best, but it can be hard for families to meet the costs of coaching, sports gear, entry fees and travel.”The scholarship is crowdfunded through Dreamfunda, an online fundraising platform connecting athletes with their supporters. Race entrants and members of the public are invited to add to the kitty and organisers hope to see it go even higher by race day.“We would love to see the scholarship

hit $500 this year.”The Omaha Classic was first run in 2010 and is a major fundraiser for the Matakana Primary School.Electronic timing will be introduced this year and there will be two prizes of $500 if the winners of the men’s and women’s 10km events can set new course records. Current records stand at 35min40sec for men and 40min45sec for women.There’s also a new team category in the 10km and 5km events. The team with the fastest average time will win a trophy and a $250 donation to the charity, school, sports team or community group of their choice.Rob says the Omaha Classic is all about fitness, fun and community.Info: omahaclassic.co.nz To support the Dreamfunda campaign, visit dreamfunda.com/Campaign/OmahaClassic#home
