Register now for Lifestart Kayak for Kids

Lifestart Kayak for Kids is an inspirational paddling challenge on Sydney Harbour raising funds for Lifestart’s early childhood intervention and school aged services for children with a disability or developmental delay. 

Get your team together for a fun workout on the water. Kayak for Kids encourages friendly competition, teambuilding and co-operation. There will be three major components of the day:

1. The Paddling Event: Participate as a three person team or as a relay team of up to twelve people in a provided three seat kayak. It also provides the opportunity for experienced paddlers who have their own one or two seat craft to participate in a unique time trial as it hugs the northern shoes from Blues Point to Clontarf.

2. Spectators: Spectators are encouraged to cheer their team along the way with vantage points at strategic positions and at transition points along the foreshore.

3. The Event Hub: At the finish line at Clontarf, there will be plenty to do at Lifestart’s annual family picnic with fun, food and entertainment for everyone.
