Margaret Kinninmonth — our country‘s fastest lady paddler — who has recently returned from international competition in Spain. will be one of the 40 paddlers at the starting line and will probably be one of the lucky winners who receive a coveted Lendal paddle as prize. This year, the marathon competitors are grateful of police protection for the event after previous unpleasantries of shooting and stone-throwing at participants.
