Welcome to the 24th RCC Rottemerenmarathon on 5 september 2010
(Record time 1.23.30)

Dear Paddlers,

On Sunday .. September, we challenge you to come and improve your time for the Rottemeren marathon or, if you're a newcomer, record your first time.

The race will take you along the river Rotte to the Rottemeren lake and back again. There are no portages but this very popular marathon has ample challenges and plenty of tactical opportunities for making a break. In 2003, the Bruno Janis trophy was presented to Edwin de Nijs who set the fastest time yet. The names of anyone who improves on the record will be engraved on the trophy: if you improve on te RCC marathon time, then you'll know where you stand with respect to your predecessors!

Earlier recordwinners include:

1.23.30 Laurens Pannecoucke (B)
1.24.10 Edwin de Nijs 2003 (NL)
1.25.07 Edwin de Nijs 2002 (NL)
1.27.07 Tony Benschop 1992 (NL)
1.31.23 Raymond Jansen 1996 (NL)
