Thinking about VIC27? Have a go!

The next stage of the VIC27 campaign is underway, with Expressions of Interest and Fitness & Benchmarking information now available.

If you’re thinking, “I’m probably not good enough” or “I’m not sure I’m ready," don’t rule yourself out before you’ve even had a go. You may surprise yourself!

We’ll support interested paddlers through the benchmarking process in our own familiar and supportive club environment.

Your individual results are private and won’t be shared with other club members.

This isn’t about comparing yourself with the person next to you. It’s about challenging yourself, having a go, and supporting each other as a team.

Whether VIC27 becomes your goal now or something you work towards in the future, the experience itself is valuable.

So, if you’re even a little bit curious, give it a go.

Let’s train together, benchmark together and support each other along the way.

Need help getting started? Connect with our coaches or Club Captain if you would like support, guidance or help with a training program to prepare for benchmarking.

Important: Your benchmarking results are required when you submit your EOI. We recommend completing your benchmarking and submitting your EOI by 22 August, ahead of the official VIC27 EOI closing date of 23 August 2026.
