PSK Distance Challenge
The 100k Day

The 100k Day - it's simple: can you paddle an unsupported 100 km in 24 hours?

Paddle a minimum of 100km in a 24 hour period to add your name to the PSK Distance Challenge 100k Day.
You've got to go over the 100K or it does not count - it's all or nothing!


PLEASE PADDLE A COMFORTABLE BUFFER OVER THE 100K TARGET - DO NOT CUT IT TIGHT - GPS FIGURES CAN VARY. GO UNDER 100K AND IT DOES NOT COUNT!

** Make sure your GPS can handle the 100k too - Optimising Your GPS **
