Mullum2Bruns Paddle 2022

*UPDATE - Unfortunately this event has been cancelled due the recent flooding we can not ensure the health of the river, water quality and submerged objects would make it unsafe for our paddlers. We will back in the water with a bang in 2023! Stay tuned.

Join us for the twelth Mullum2Bruns Paddle, an annual event held on the Brunswick River, starting at Heritage Park in Mullumbimby and ending at the Terrace Park in Brunswick Heads. The 10km event attracts approximately 1000 paddlers each year. The event raises funds for Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club, Brunswick Marine Rescue and Brunswick Heads Visitor Information Centre.
