Pasha Dasha Outrigger Canoe Racing Regatta


The Pasha Dasha Outrigger Canoe Racing Regatta, hosted by the Newcastle Outrigger Canoe Club (NOCC), will be held at Horseshoe Beach. Since 2011, NOCC has hosted the iconic event on the wonderful water playground of Newcastle Harbour.

You are invited to join them for their 15th regatta, where your family and friends can enjoy unobstructed spectator access along the entire length of the course. It's an exciting, colourful spectacle that showcases this vibrant city – both on and off the water.

The program includes races for OC1, OC2, V1, and OC6 canoes, with distances ranging from 2 km for juniors to 22 km for the long-course iron race. The course layout allows full visibility from the shore, supporting both spectator safety and spectator engagement. The regatta contributes to local tourism and the visitor economy and is delivered as a low-impact, environmentally sustainable event.
