All racing will be in 20s boats. The 500m, 200m & 100m races will be Womens and Opens 10s crews and Mixed 20s crews. The triathlon will involve crews paddling in a 100m and 200m race one after the other (it may be 100m then 200m or 200m then 100m, TBC), but the boat will stay on the water and the paddlers remain the same. The race schedule will see the 500m conducted prior to the shorter distances.
