# Canoeing: This year’s Berg River Marathon is shaping up to be one for the ages with two legends facing up against the new generation. Defending champion Tom Lovemore returns, with the canoe builder from Knysna remaining one of the favourites. Legends Hank McGregor and Robbie Herreveld, with a combined age of 100 and a total of 19 victories between them, look most likely to be the roadblock to Lovemore’s hopes of a repeat victory. The marathon starts in Paarl on Wednesday morning and ends in Velddrift on Saturday.
