Please note that the following information is provisional and plans are subject to change.
Canoeing and kayaking are "assumed risk", "water-contact sports" that may carry attendant risks. Participants should be aware of these risks and be responsible for their own action and involvement.
Communications - it is key that you join this group wherever possible.
Whilst we will endeavour to keep our website up-to-date, we thoroughly recommend that all competitors (or parents/guardians) join our event WhatsApp group, http://bit.ly/persley. This group chat will be used for pre-race updates, and announcements on the day. If you have any questions before the event, please email events@akcslalom.org. For the duration of the event, questions should be directed to Race Control or the mobile number in the group chat (outside event hours).
Free Practise
We will endeavour to make free practise available at the following times. The course will not be available between the first and last runs, and during course re-construction.
Friday - 6pm till 9pm. We will announce in the group-chat when the course is ready.
Saturday - 8am till the race starts and after the race finishes till 7pm.
Sunday - 8am till the race starts.
Race control may require full runs if the course is particularly busy. This information will be clearly signposted at the top of the course when required. All competitors who free practise must be able to self-rescue or have a competent rescuer with them. Race Organisers will not have safety provisions during free practise.
Protests
Protests should be made to Race Control with a £1 fee which will be returned if the dispute is upheld.

Parking at Persley is relatively limited - it is important that you follow instructions from our parking marshals to ensure space is available for everyone. You are required to follow instructions from our Parking Marshals in order to compete.
